The following is a Facebook post from Hook Parish Council. We thought we would share it with all the volunteers that support Hook Village Halls and get involved with Hook Books, Hook Community Lunch Club, Hook In Bloom, Half Term Fun, the volunteer directors that help to run the halls, and the many other events that happen in our village halls that are supported by Volunteers. Thank you everyone for all your support.
This week marks Volunteers' Week (1–7 June), a UK-wide celebration recognising the invaluable contributions made by volunteers in communities across the country.
First launched in 1984, Volunteers’ Week has been bringing people together for more than 40 years to thank current and former volunteers for their dedication, while inspiring others to get involved. The campaign highlights the positive impact volunteering has on communities and strengthens connections between national organisations and local grassroots groups.
🏘️Here in Hook, we are fortunate to have many groups and organisations run by volunteers who provide a wide range of services, activities, and support for local residents. Information about some of these organisations can be found in Hook Focus magazine and on the Hook Parish Council website.
🏆We are proud to celebrate and champion our volunteers each year through the Community Awards and Chair’s Awards, which are presented at the Annual Village Meeting. If you know someone who deserves recognition for their outstanding contribution to our community, please consider nominating them when nominations open next year.
👥To all our volunteers (including our Councillors, who are all volunteers) —past and present—thank you for everything you do to make Hook such a vibrant and supportive community 👏
