A huge thank you to everyone who took part in CSV Make a Difference Day 2011!

The day took place on Saturday 29 October, with tens of thousands of people taking part in events across the UK.

This year the campaign particularly highlighted how volunteers can combat loneliness and isolation, with many of the activities following this theme.

Well done and thank you again to everyone who took part and made a difference in their communities across the country. To download any of the campaign resources including the How-to Guides, Handbook and certificates, visit the resources page.

If you organised an activity, please fill in an evaluation form and help us plan for next year! We'll even send you a bar of chocolate to say thank you (while stocks last!).
