THANKING OUR VOLUNTEERS
The contribution of volunteers is often unseen and unrecognised by many, visible only through the incredible impact of their volunteering. So taking the time during Volunteers’ Week to recognise, celebrate and thank our incredible volunteers for all they contribute to our community, as well as the voluntary sector and society as a whole, has never been more important.
Volunteers’ Week is a great opportunity to thank our volunteers. If you would like to leave a message below thanking particular volunteers or a specific group of volunteers, please do so. Your appreciation and encouragement will be very welcome.
WHO’S YOUR HERO?
Do you know somebody whose contribution to the cause of Naturism has been exceptional and whom you think BN should recognise by the award of a Certificate of Merit?
The Executive Committee welcomes nominations for Certificates of Merit from members. Certificates are usually awarded at the AGM, and in order to allow the EC to give proper consideration to nominations we're asking for these no later than 15 July 2024.
Nominees don't have to be members – indeed certificates have in the past been awarded to people outside BN whose contribution has been considered exceptional. And the nominee could be a single person or a group, such as a club, couple, team or company.
To find out more, including how to go about making a nomination, see the News and Announcements section on the Members' Forum.
BECOMING A VOLUNTEER
Want to volunteer but don’t know where to start? Volunteers’ Week is a great time to find out more.
There are all kinds of volunteering roles and short term or micro volunteering assignments you could do.
To find out more about British Naturism’s volunteering programme see the volunteering pages on our website.
To register as a BN volunteer, or to register your interest in volunteering with British Naturism, visit our Volunteer Connect platform, which is part of the BN website (Members Area > Volunteering > My Volunteering Profile). Alternatively, use the direct link.
It will take you less than two minutes to create your own volunteering profile (perhaps a little longer if you want to add content to the text-free boxes). Once you have completed and saved this you are registered as a BN volunteer.
When you use our Volunteer Connect platform you will be able to access guidance on becoming a volunteer (if you are new to volunteering), view our volunteering opportunities and apply for them online, manage your own contact details, download guidance, read our latest volunteering news and share your views through the BN Forum.
