International Volunteer Day is celebrated annually on 5 December to recognise and promote the work of volunteers worldwide.

It was established by the United Nations in 1985 to highlight the power of volunteerism in achieving social and economic development, with a particular focus on the contribution of volunteers to the Sustainable Development Goals. The day is a global opportunity to celebrate the contributions of volunteers and volunteer-involving organisations around the world.

Celebrate International Volunteer Day!On December 5, we celebrate the incredible impact of volunteers who strengthen our communities and inspire positive change. It’s a perfect moment to reflect on the wellbeing benefits of giving back—connection, purpose, and a sense of fulfillment.

For the volunteers whose kindness, energy, and commitment uplift our communities.
