Tip of the Month – Celebrate you volunteers!
During National Volunteer Week (16th-22nd May) why not celebrate your volunteers! Take some time out to have a chat and enjoy a cup of tea with your volunteers. This will give you the opportunity to discuss their role in your organisation and give them the space to get to know other volunteers.
