Supporting and thanking volunteers

Volunteers’ Week is a great opportunity to thank your volunteers, but good volunteer management is important all year round.

To help you, here’s some guidance on supporting and managing volunteers, including supporting volunteers, thanking volunteers and writing a volunteer policy.

There’s also links to other practical support for volunteer managers on the NCVO website and some useful posts about volunteering on the NCVO blog.

To access resources, support and information for across the UK, you can also contact our partner organisations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
