The Challenge

Volunteering is meaningful, but often invisible

Scattered across platforms

Volunteering happens across different organisations and platforms with no single record.

Hours and experiences get lost

Without a central place to log activity, your contributions fade over time.

Skills are hard to prove

You develop real abilities through volunteering, but there's no structured way to show them.

Recognition is inconsistent

Some organisations recognise volunteers, others don't. There's no consistent standard.

Vinspired helps you keep everything in one place and turn volunteering into something you can show.

How It Works

Discover, contribute, and build

A simple journey designed around you, not organisations.

Find volunteering opportunities

Search by cause, location, and skills. Local and remote options from charities, schools, and companies.

Apply and participate

Clear expectations on time, skills, and impact so you know exactly what to expect.

Log your volunteering

Record your experience once, not repeatedly. Hours, skills, and reflections in one place.

Build your impact profile

A personal profile that grows with every experience, showing your journey over time.

Opportunities

Find the right volunteering for you

You spend time on causes you care about, not searching. Clear expectations so you know exactly what you're signing up for.

FAQ

Common questions

Is Vinspired free for volunteers?

Yes. Vinspired is completely free for volunteers. Create your profile, discover opportunities, log your volunteering, and build your impact record at no cost.

Can I volunteer independently?

Yes. You can log volunteering you do independently, outside of any organisation's programme. Your impact profile captures everything in one place.

Who can see my impact profile?

How do certificates and badges work?

Certificates are issued by organisations you volunteer with. Badges are earned for milestones, skills, and impact areas. Both appear on your profile and can be shared in applications.

Can I use my profile for job or school applications?
