Volunteers’ Week is an annual celebration of volunteers that takes place every year in June. Up and down the country there will be parties, award events and outings, recruitment fayres and exhibitions taking place, to recruit, reward and recognise volunteers.
This year the week has been extended in order to mark celebrations associated with the Queen’s 90th birthday. The Queen has been patron to more than 600 charities and organisations and so the Week has been extended to a fortnight to encompass a Patrons lunch on 12th June. Local communities are encouraged to participate by holding their own street party or event, and to use this opportunity to support their local communities through fundraising or volunteering.
A bilingual logo specifically for use this year, can be downloaded from the WCVA website.
Certificates are freely available online for organisations to use as a way thanking volunteers for their continued interest and involvement.
In Wales this extended Volunteers’ Week will see the annual ceremony for the Volunteer of the Year Awards and some regional conversations organised through WCVA’s Volunteering Spirit Wales project, about the involvement of volunteers at public events.
