vInspired for organisations
Need volunteers? Advertise your opportunities for free on vinspired
vinspired.com is a website and iPhone app where charities and voluntary organisations (big and small) can promote volunteering opportunities to 16-25 year olds. It’s totally free and easy to use.
“vInspired lets 16-25 year olds find opportunities to offer their services to local people and places just by typing in their postcode… It’s surely all for the good” – The Sunday Times
Over 1,600 organisations are already using vInspired to reach a new generation of supporters online and on mobile phones. It’s open to charities, voluntary organisations, community groups and social enterprises – from national organisations to grassroots community projects.
“It’s helped immensely with the way in which we recruit volunteers.” – Pete Jones, Beat Bullying.
“Within 2 days, we already have 3 fundraisers from vinspired!” – Anna Wells, SolarAid.
You can use vinspired to promote and volunteering opportunity as long as it’s unpaid (expenses are OK) and helps other people, the environment or society. (We don't advertise jobs, work experience or training, sorry.) Get started here
Free recognition scheme for young volunteers
vinspired.com isn’t just about recruiting volunteers – it also makes it easy for your volunteers to apply for official recognition for their achievements (and it won’t cost you or them anything). The vinspired awards recognise skills and community benefit as well as the time spent volunteering (50 hours for vfifty, a further 100 hours for vimpact).
You can even apply to administer the awards yourself by joining the vinspired awards network.
Leading innovation
vInspired is recognised for leading digital innovation in the voluntary sector. Last year, vinspired.com was short-listed for awards from New Media Age, Nominet and the Charity Times. Our iPhone app has won praise in the press, and we'll be releasing Android and BlackBerry versions soon.
