Northamptonshire' s charities and organisations took to social media to thank their hardworking volunteers for National Volunteers' Week (June 1 - June 6).
Using the hashtag #NationalVolunteersWeek, they sang the praises of the pandemic heroes, who sacrificed their free time to help their local communities in different ways.
From litter-picking to saving lives, we have so many incredible volunteers across Northamptonshire, who deserve to be celebrated.
Although we are unable to list every volunteer in the county, the team at this newspaper want to say - from the bottom of our hearts - thank you all for your service and making Northamptonshire a better place.
Here are just a few teams of volunteers, who deserve our endless gratitude:
