intro
It's time to say thanks
Every day people in the public sector and civil service keep our country running. From nurses to teachers and firefighters to refuse collectors, everyone plays a vital part. Whether it’s saving lives or keeping the streets clean, we owe a thanks to the people who are at the heart of our communities and country, so why not join us in saying thanks this Public Service Day on 23 June?
Why us and why now?
Public Service Day was officially launched by the United Nations back in 2003, but unfortunately it has barely been recognised in the UK so far. Boundless want to change that. For the last 90 years we've been helping people working in the public sector and civil service make the most of their free time. We understand the role they play and we think it’s time to say thank you and celebrate the contribution they make to the nation.

Get creative
Why not write or draw a thank-you note? It’s a great excuse to get your pencils out and pass your note on to a teacher, refuse collector, ambulance worker… The list of potential recipients is endless.
Buy a cuppa or bake a cake
Ever seen someone out on shift? Walk past a fire station every day? Why not surprise them with a simple gesture by buying them a cup of tea or baking them a cake and dropping it in?
Say a simple thank you
You don’t have to do this on this day. Any day will do. As Alex Wood, our Emergency Care Assistant says below, it really makes the job worthwhile
