Volunteers' Week V
olunteers’ Week takes place each year and is a time to recognise and thank volunteers. During the week, we shared a video from Kate Mavor expressing her thanks for all you have done and continue to do for the charity. There were numerous live talks, including one on the impact of volunteering held by the volunteering and participation team, as well as shared pictures of our volunteers on Facebook and Twitter. There were also messages of thanks and appreciation such as these kind words from Anna Eavis, curatorial director: ‘I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for the continued care, dedication and time you give to English Heritage. I would particularly like to thank our research volunteers who help us to uncover more about the history of our sites, and our collections volunteers who do so much to contribute to the care and management of our historic artefacts. Thank you.’ Sites also celebrated in innovative, engaging and fun ways including virtual cocktails via Zoom at Wrest Park, pictured above.
