The International Volunteer Day for Economic and Social Development, more commonly referred to as International Volunteer Day, is an international observance mandated by the UN General Assembly in 1985. It offers an opportunity for volunteer-involving organisations and individual volunteers to promote volunteerism, encourage governments to support volunteer efforts and recognise volunteer contributions to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals at local, national and international levels.
Most facilities value the positive difference that volunteers make to the lives of their residents and staff.
Volunteers need to be recognised for the unique knowledge, experience and talents they provide by giving enjoyment and a sense of community for residents, as well as in supporting staff.
Remember to:
• recognise volunteers as valuable team members
• provide mechanisms to acknowledge the value of contributions made by volunteers, such as certificates or an annual volunteer event.
