With annual volunteers week kicking off, we thought it would be a good time to explain just exactly what volunteers week is and just how important it is. The whole week is about celebrating and thanking volunteers for the work they do all year round. This year we are very proud to be one of the 100 official partners of volunteer week 2019 for the first time thanks to @VolScotland<\/u>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteer week began to be celebrated in 1984 originally being celebrated just in England. In 2013 they began A merger with the NCVO which led to volunteering week becoming a nation wide campaign. It does not matter how large or small a volunteering contribution is from an individual, everyone deserves to be thanked for their efforts which is what volunteering is all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Important Is Volunteering To Society?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many people are of the belief that volunteering is free. In ways that statement can be seen as true, volunteers do give up their time for free. However the idea that the third sector and volunteering is not worth a lot of money is incorrect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Numbers show that volunteering is highly valuable to both organisations and the economy. Statistics show that volunteering is currently worth 22 billion. This is 1.2% of GDP in the UK. Volunteering and the third sector thriving can only be a positive thing for the economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sheer amount of organisations that need volunteers shows just how necessary volunteering week is. In 2016, there were 165,000 voluntary organisations and a number of those are solely dependent on volunteers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are TeamKinetic Doing For Volunteer Week?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m sure most of you will be absolutely bursting to know what TeamKinetic<\/u><\/a> are doing for the 2019 volunteer week! So It’s a great shame that you’re going to have to wait! We have a lot of things planned for every day of the working week from the 3rd-7th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To tide you over until we begin our full week of content we still have a host of industry blogs<\/u><\/a> and YouTube Videos<\/u><\/a> that you can watch on all of our features that can help you with any improvements you need with your volunteer management. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have been improving volunteer management software for organisations for over a decade now and we have worked with some fantastic people. We are fast approaching 1 million volunteering hours which is something we are very proud of and hope that we can still be improving volunteering communities for many years to come and hopefully get to 10 million one day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspiring Volunteering Stories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Volunteering has had a presence in society for many years now meaning there are hundreds if not thousands of unique and inspiring stories that we could tell you about. Anna Jackson<\/a><\/u> began her journey in sport playing hockey. After several operations on her knee it got to the point where she could no longer run meaning her love of playing and coaching came to an end. Unfortunately mental health issues followed and Anna developed depression. She says that wheelchair basketball changed her life. It allowed her to build her self confidence and identity back which just shows the power of just getting involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna went on to have a decade long career with the Great British wheelchair basketball team which even included participating in the 2000 Sydney Paralympics. As well as playing, Anna also coaches the sport and this is what she has to say about that: “I always say that, as a coach \u2013 whether as a volunteer or on the books \u2013 every day is a school day. I am always looking for new things to learn and try with my players and coaching clients.  But the key thing about coaching is to help people to believe in themselves and their abilities.” This is one of the reasons volunteers week is so important. Saying Thank you and appreciating people like Anna for all the important work they do is something that should definitely be celebrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Can You Celebrate Volunteer Week?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those who manage volunteers, it would be great for you to think of a way you can thank them throughout the week or perhaps put something special on for them to make them aware just how truly appreciated they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
