5 Volunteer recognition and appreciation

Volunteers are giving their time up for your organisation, so it is vital to recognise and appreciate them. It’s important to say thank you and recognise volunteer achievements as not only will it make them feel valued, but they are more likely to continue to make a positive contribution to your organisation.

Sometimes the simplest of gestures can have the biggest impact - it doesn’t have to take up lots of resources or money. Building celebratory occasions into your organisation’s volunteer programme from the outset ensures they are carefully planned and delivered.
