Volunteers Week is held from 1-7 June 2019 and it’s always a cause for celebration. But this year is extra special for us.
As mentioned before (see news article here), we’ve achieved the prestigious Investing in Volunteers (IiV) accreditation and we want to shout about it!
We’re planning lots of events over the week to celebrate our volunteers’ achievements and we’re getting in touch now to give your group plenty of time to get involved.
Has a volunteer in your local group, or from another part of the organisation or country, done something to make you feel proud?
Then what better way is there to celebrate this than by nominating them for a Shining Star award? Now is the time to submit your Shining Star nomination and start planning a special celebration event to present your Shining Stars during volunteers’ week.
To make it even more special you could get local press involved, or take photos and videos to share on social media channels. Let’s get a record number of awards given out!
There is lots of guidance to help with your celebrations:
We welcome your ideas and will be sending out more information over the coming months.
