The person who will turn up no matter what.&nbsp; Where you have someone special, let them know. It does not have to be expensive or time-consuming, you just have to get a little creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re not the creative type, why not look at some of the great ideas suggested by the <a href=\"http:\/\/scouts.org.uk\/news\/2017\/11\/8waystosaythankyou\/\">Scouts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TeamKinetic&#8217;s real-time&nbsp;reporting makes it simple to know who your superstars are. It&#8217;s easy to see which individuals you simply could not live without from our Volunteer dashboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be authentic, be consistent.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>People can soon tell if the messages they receive are just automated messages.&nbsp;Don&#8217;t be a robot!&nbsp;Put some personality&nbsp;into it when you say &#8220;Thank you&#8221; to your volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having said that, there are some really useful messages that you can&nbsp;set to run automatically and can make your volunteer offer more consistent. Wish your&nbsp;volunteers a Happy Birthday, tell them when they have been with you for a year, or when they pass a milestone such&nbsp;as 100 hours volunteered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TeamKinetic has been busy developing its milestones function.&nbsp; This will make it even simpler to build up a range of fantastic, motivating and inspiring messages to keep your volunteers hooked on helping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"793\" src=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-8-1024x793.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-8-1024x793.png 1024w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-8-300x232.png 300w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-8-768x595.png 768w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-8-900x697.png 900w, https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-8.png 1128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>All that is left to say, is Thank You for reading, I hope it&nbsp;makes a difference to your volunteers and I look forward to hearing what works for you and your teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy Volunteers Week<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can find\u00a0<span style=\"color: #6fa200;\"><a style=\"color: #6fa200;\" href=\"https:\/\/teamkinetic.co.uk\/\">TeamKinetic<\/a><\/span> on social media and listen to our podcast:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"color: #1da1f2;\"><a style=\"color: #1da1f2;\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeamKineticUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/span> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span style=\"color: #3b5998;\"><a style=\"color: #3b5998;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TeamKineticUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span style=\"color: #0a66c2;\"><a style=\"color: #0a66c2;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/teamkinetic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/TeamKinetic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <span style=\"color: #c32aa3;\"><a style=\"color: #c32aa3;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/teamkineticuk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<span style=\"color: #1ed760;\"><a style=\"color: #1ed760;\" href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/teamkinetic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Podcast<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Have you enjoyed using TeamKinetic?
