https://volunteeringgateway.org.au/aboutThe work of volunteers is incredibly valuable and essential for organisations and we believe it’s important that these efforts are recognised, celebrated, and appreciated.
One way you can say thank you to your volunteers is by sending them a personalised message with our thank you eCards. We also encourage volunteer managers to celebrate National Volunteer Week and International Volunteer Day use this as an opportunity to show appreciation to volunteers.
Keep in mind the best type of recognition and appreciation is one that is personalised to the individual. Get to know your volunteers and try to show recognition and appreciation in a way that suits them.
