YouthNet's volunteer recognition party

Octopus and YouthNet's visionYouthNet held its first official party especially for all our volunteers last week. In our eleven years as a charity, we've been fortunate to have many fantastic volunteers in both office-based and online capacities. Volunteers have contributed in a variety of roles, including online peer advisors to askTheSite, moderators on our busy discussion boards, online proofreaders to ensure our partners' volunteering opportunities are clear and engaging on do-it.org.uk, bloggers telling the world about their volunteering experiences, and a busy group of people helping in our office in our editorial, partnerships and fundraising teamPartnerships team - volunteers and staffs. Young people are also active on advisory groups, such as that collaborating with, advocating for and giving buzz to our Respect? campaign.

Both current and formerly active volunteers were invited first to our office in Islington, London to get a look at everday life in the YouthNet world and to meet staff across the organisation - especially nice for volunteers who work online. Then we all trekked over to a nearby venue The Winchester for a thank you speech from our chief executive Fiona Dawe, lovely food, a couple of drinks, and our very own YouthNet pub quiz (with terrific prizes – urm, chocolates).

All in all, it was a great evening! We'd like to say a big thanks to all of our volunteers. And, hope to see many of you at our next party – we'll keep you all posted.
