Awards milestone graphics examples

Celebrating volunteer milestones

While National Volunteers Week provides the perfect opportunity to celebrate volunteers across the country, we wanted to create a series of assets that would allow us to recognise the achievements of volunteers all year round. That is why we have produced a series of volunteer milestone graphics for both individuals and clubs to share on social media.

Charlotte Payne's journey as an athlete

Last weekend saw a 20-strong team of young athletes heading to Loughborough to represent England at the inaugural Loughborough Pathway International. The team was captained by England Athletics Talent Pathway athlete Charlotte Payne (Paul Dickenson, Reading AC). Despite her tender 21 years of age, Charlotte has an impressive resume; she is the reigning British Champion and the youngest British female ever to throw the hammer over 70m. We caught up with Charlotte to learn more about how she got involved in the sport, her unique relationship with her coach Paul Dickenson and how the club system has supported her development as an athlete.

Thank you to our incredible volunteers

In honour of National Volunteers Week, we asked some prominent names in the sport if they had any volunteers they would like to thank for their outstanding contribution.

The importance of volunteers

It's National Volunteers' Week! Volunteers have paved the way for the journeys of many athletes and helped them achieve and record their greatest performances. Whether a teacher, coach, club member, parent or official, this sport wouldn't exist without their contributions.
