RECOGNISE 2026
A national week of recognition for everyone involved in ministry with children, young people, and their families
RECOGNISE (6 -12 JULY 2026) RETURNED, offering a fantastic opportunity to celebrate, thank, and acknowledge everyone involved in Children’s and Youth Ministry—both staff and volunteers.

Sunday 12 July 2026 was a day for churches nationwide to celebrate and thank those involved in this vital ministry.
The 30k Project wants to RECOGNISE all the hard work of those serving in CYPF Ministry. There are so many individuals giving tirelessly to nurture the faith of the emerging generations. This event provided the opportunity to create a wave of appreciation and echo the heartfelt thanks across the Church.
For those who were involved or would like to be involved:
- Thank you to everybody who created time in their normal church to ‘recognise’ those involved with CYPF Ministry where you are.
- Post a recording of your ‘thanks’ on social media using the hashtag #RECOGNISE2026.
- Keep checking back here for more resources and information nearer the time!
Is this for volunteers too? RECOGNISE is aimed at anyone who is involved in children’s and youth ministry in a church setting. This may be a paid employee or a volunteer; it is important that we recognise both.
What about volunteers who help in other areas? RECOGNISE is for people involved in children and youth ministry. For volunteers helping in other areas. National Volunteers’ Week offers a great opportunity to celebrate and thank them. Take a look here for other tips on how to support and thank volunteers.
