"Not only does volunteering for the vInspired award scheme give you valuable experience, but it makes you eminently more employable. And who knows you might even have some fun too!

If I'm not an approved provider, can my volunteers still get vInspired awards?

Yes. Any volunteer aged 14-25 in UK can apply for our awards by recording details of their volunteering through our online system.
