A message from Ashleigh Gillespie, our Volunteering Development Officer, ahead of Volunteers’ Week 2026:

“Volunteers’ Week is a special time to celebrate and thank the people who give their time and dedication to support others and their local communities. Volunteers are at the heart of our communities, and this campaign week is all about recognising their incredible impact.

We encourage all organisations, groups, and local people to engage with the campaign – to support this, Volunteer Scotland has a dedicated Resources page (linked for your convenience), which includes thank you cards, certificates, fun photo props (amongst others) available to download. Everything to help you celebrate your volunteers in style!

With just over a month to go until Volunteers’ Week 2026, now’s the perfect time to start planning and printing any materials you’ll need.”
