Campaigns
Volunteering campaigns are an important way of creating a movement to showcase the difference that can be made through volunteer involvement.
Volunteers’ Week
Volunteers’ Week is a UK campaign (1-7 June 2026) to say ‘thank you’ to the millions of volunteers across the UK who consistently make a difference to communities and causes.
Volunteer Now in partnership with Volunteer Scotland, Welsh Council for Voluntary Action and National Council for Voluntary Action work together to produce resources and guides to support you as you say ‘thank you’ to your volunteers.
Check out the UK website www.volunteersweek.org for more information.
