What is the scheme?
We ask The Children's Society volunteers or their family and friends to nominate volunteers they feel should be highlighted for the time that they give. This is a recognition scheme which awards our volunteers for all their support given to us.
Aim of the scheme?
- To thank and recognise volunteers for their dedication and commitment
- Inspire and motivate current and new volunteers
- Encourage sharing of successes, ideas and stories
- Improve communication between The Children's Society and our volunteering network
