Scottish Archery marks Volunteers’ Week 2026.
Volunteers’ Week returns this year for the 42nd year. From Monday 1 to Sunday 7 June 2026, Scottish Archery will join thousands of charities and voluntary organisations recognising the contribution volunteers make across the UK.
Running every year since 1984, the week provides a crucial opportunity to thank volunteers and recognise the value of their time, passion and skills. The campaign highlights the diversity and unity of volunteer work across the UK. Many will take part in awards ceremonies, coffee mornings and days out during the week. The celebrations aim to foster connections between national organisations and grassroots groups, celebrating the spirit of volunteering that enriches communities each year.
This Volunteers’ Week Scottish Archery will be celebrating their volunteers, by sharing some stories and information on their impact and difference they make to our sport.
Lyndsay Noon, CEO of Scottish Archery said:
“Volunteers' Week is a chance to celebrate and recognise the fantastic contribution our volunteers make. Thanks to them, the local community has benefited from your goodwill, kindness and support’’
Volunteers’ Week is led by the UK Volunteering Forum, a partnership between Volunteer Scotland, the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO), the Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA) and Volunteer Now in Northern Ireland.
The UK Volunteering Forum said:
“Volunteers bring a richness to organisations across the country. There is no better time to recognise the diversity of our volunteers and celebrate the difference that volunteering makes than during Volunteers’ Week. Without volunteers many charities just simply could not function, with so many people giving up their time and going above and beyond. The week is a chance for all of us to show just how vital they are to charities and communities everywhere.”
