The week takes place in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edenprojectcommunities.com\/month-of-community\">Month Of Community<\/a>, which is a whole month of dedicating time to come together to celebrate everything that makes communities great. Other events in the Month Of Community include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smallcharityweek.com\/\">Small Charities Week<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edenprojectcommunities.com\/the-big-lunch\">The Big Lunch<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Volunteer-involved organisations across the UK will run activities to honour volunteers. Various activities will be taking place from volunteer recruitment events and open days to celebration and recognition events.<\/p>\n<p>A range of partners help to make Volunteers Week special each year.

There are many small ways you can recognise your volunteers which don&#8217;t need to break the bank!\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Social Media\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>Social media is an easy, free and effective way of recognising your volunteers which can be shared with all of your followers. Use the hashtag #VolunteersWeek to say thank you to your volunteers. You can share stories of the impact your volunteers have made and encourage them to share their own volunteering journies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Celebrations<\/h3>\n<p>You could host small parties or awards nights to celebrate your volunteers. Highlight your volunteers\u2019 successes to show them how their hard work has helped your organisation. You can show them the impact they have made within the organisation and reward them with a certificate. Volunteers Week have a free certificate template you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/volunteersweek.org\/get-involved\/resources\/saying-thank-you\/\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Events<\/h3>\n<p>Running an event is a great way to get everyone together and spread the message. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edenprojectcommunities.com\/the-big-lunch\">The Big Lunch<\/a> is a great example of this. The event for neighbours and communities takes place every year in the UK. Running an event doesn&#8217;t have to be expensive, it can be run online or in a local park. You can then spread the word by promoting the event on social media!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edenprojectcommunities.com\/ideas-and-resources\">Here<\/a> are some tips for planning your event.<\/p>\n<h3>Recruit and support<\/h3>\n<p>You can use Volunteers Week to promote the benefits of volunteering to help gain interest and encourage others to volunteer for your organisation or volunteering programme.
