It’s important to reward your volunteers all year round and not just at Christmas time, but if your volunteers celebrate Christmas, then it would be nice to say thanks for all the help and support they’ve given to your organisation this year. Due to the cost of living crisis, it may be a struggle this year for charities to fork out gifts for all their volunteers however, most of the ideas listed below are affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Personal Cards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Writing a letter or Christmas card that is personalised to each volunteer with a unique message shows that you have recognised the work of each individual volunteer and are thanking them for the difference they have made to the organisation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An inexpensive way of doing this is sending personalised emails to your volunteers instead this way you can save on printing costs. Ensure you keep track of the types of things each volunteer does throughout the year to keep your organisation going, this shows you have appreciated their hard work and have noticed the small things they do. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Certificates And Awards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reward your volunteers with certificates to celebrate their hard work, you can be flexible to match the certificate to the volunteer. On the certificate, you can include things like how many hours have been completed by the volunteer this year to show how much they’ve helped the organisation and the difference they’ve made. These certificates could also be sent out via email to save printing costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handing out physical awards could be a more expensive way to reward your volunteers however, you could handmake the awards to make them more affordable for your organisation. An easy alternative instead of buying awards is printing out what you want the award to say and framing it. Award ideas could include \u201cMost Enthusiastic Volunteer\u201d, \u201cMost Motivating Volunteer\u201d or “Volunteer Of The Year” and other similar personality traits that carry your organisation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas Party<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas party may be a struggle for most charities and organisations due to the cost of living crisis. Venue hire and catering may be out of budget so a cheap alternative is to have a virtual party over an online call involving a Christmas quiz with small prizes to be won. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Even though this is very lockdown-esque way to celebrate, it’s an affordable and easy alternative that doesn’t involve much planning to get all your volunteers in one place. There are many available Christmas quizzes online<\/a> or you can have some fun and make up your own! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homemade Gifts <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Homemade baked goods or Christmas ornaments are an inexpensive way to reward your volunteers this Christmas. Who doesn\u2019t like baked goods at this time of year, this is also a cheap option that anyone would be happy with. Some ideas for Christmas baked goods can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making your own Christmas tree decorations or ornaments is a sustainable and affordable way to say thanks, this way volunteers can re-use the decoration each year and be reminded of the hard work they have achieved. There are plenty of ideas online for DIY Christmas decorations. Eight cheap and easy decoration ideas can be found here<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Give Volunteers Recognition On Your Blog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your organisation has a blog, you could write a blog post thanking your volunteers. This means their work can also be recognised outside of the organisation. Similarly, you could create posts for social media with the volunteers’ names and a photo of their efforts. This is a free and easy way for volunteers to feel special and receive acknowledgement for their actions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure your volunteers feel appreciated and recognised all year round for their hard work <\/strong>– not just at Christmas time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
