In the heart of Thuringia, the County of Schmalkalden-Meiningen is set to honour its volunteers at the upcoming Volunteer Gala 2025. This prestigious event, scheduled for September 20, 2025, at the Viba Nougat World in Schmalkalden, aims to acknowledge the often unnoticed efforts of volunteers in the community.
Nominations for the Volunteer Gala 2025 can be submitted until August 31, 2025, and can be done online, by email, or by mail. For specific information about the event, nominations, and criteria for selection, it's best to contact local organisations or the county administration directly.
The County Administration's address for mail submissions is Obertshäuser Platz 1, 98617 Meiningen. Online submissions can be made via the link www.lra-sm.de/volunteer. For questions related to the nomination process, René Michael, who can be reached at 03693 / 485-8385, is the contact person.
This year, the gala has a special focus on self-help groups. Self-help group members will have a public stage at the Family Action Day on September 20, 2025, at the Viba Nougat World in Schmalkalden.
County Administrator Peggy Greiser emphasises the importance of volunteering in the community, stating, "The work of volunteers is invaluable, and we are delighted to have this opportunity to recognise and celebrate their contributions."
Two awards will be presented at the Volunteer Gala: the Thuringian Volunteer Card and the County Administrator's Medal of Honor. These awards aim to recognise the dedication and hard work of volunteers who have been actively involved in clubs, organisations, or neighbourhood help for at least five years.
