Big Thank You - celebration of sports and recreation volunteers

#BigThankYouThe #BigThankYou is back - an annual celebration of the hundreds and thousands of volunteers who make sport and recreation happen up and down the country.

It’s been another year packed full of outstanding British sporting achievements. From Ben Stokes’ incredible summer to Laura Muir’s double-double – a crop of world-beating athletes have emerged and a nation of enthusiastic amateurs have been inspired. But none of this would be possible without volunteers just like you.

Culminating at BBC Sports Personality of the Year on Sunday 15 December, the Big Thank You campaign is an opportunity for sports clubs, projects and fitness groups to acknowledge their volunteers.
