Every day across Hull and East Yorkshire, thousands of volunteers quietly make a difference. They give their time, skills and compassion to support local charities, community groups and causes, often without expecting anything in return.

The Time2Volunteer Awards 2026 are your opportunity to shine a light on these incredible individuals and teams by recognising the impact they have on our communities.

Whether it's someone who has volunteered for many years, a new volunteer making a big impression, an inspirational leader, or a team working together to transform lives, we want to celebrate the people who make volunteering happen.

Volunteers are at the heart of our communities. They support older people, coach sports teams, protect our environment, run community groups, organise events, offer friendship, raise funds and provide countless acts of kindness that often go unseen. These awards are about saying a heartfelt thank you and recognising the difference they make every single day.

Who could you nominate?

• Think about the volunteer who always goes the extra mile.
• The person who quietly gets things done behind the scenes.
• The team that has pulled together to support their community.
• Or someone whose passion and commitment has inspired others to get involved.
• If someone immediately comes to mind, now is the perfect time to tell their story.

Recognition can mean far more than receiving an award. Being nominated lets volunteers know their time is valued and that their contribution has made a genuine difference to others.

Nominate today and help us recognise the volunteers who make a real difference.

If you know an individual or volunteer team that deserves to be recognised, we'd love to hear from you.

Let's come together to celebrate the people who make Hull and East Yorkshire stronger through volunteering.

Nominate your volunteer today – because every act of kindness deserves to be recognised.
