2012 vInspired National Awards Finalists Announced

The 2012 vInspired National Awards finalists have been announced, marking a celebration of inspirational young volunteers and youth workers across the country. These awards highlight those who exemplify the spirit of volunteering and community engagement.

Yesterday, we proudly revealed the national finalists for the vInspired National Awards 2012. Meeting these remarkable individuals during a photoshoot and filming session in London was an absolute honor. When asked, “How does it feel to reach the finals of these awards?”, many expressed surprise and gratitude but emphasized that their motivation wasn’t to win awards.

While we aim to spotlight these exceptional individuals, we understand that our recognition is just a small part of their journey. Their commitment to causes ranging from football coaching to dance, and supporting young people with mental health issues, exemplifies a level of selflessness and energy that is truly inspiring.

These awards acknowledge the skills, experience, and confidence gained through volunteering, which have often led these young people to secure their dream jobs. However, when asked what they cherish most about volunteering, the answer was unanimous: the difference they make in others’ lives. As one finalist noted, “I just love knowing I’ve put a smile on their faces.”

While we cannot further inspire our national and regional winners (they are unstoppable in their mission to change the world), we hope their achievements encourage others to reflect on their passions and the positive impact they can make.

Our action-packed awards ceremony is scheduled for March 22. Stay tuned for more details and updates. Learn more about our amazing regional winners and national awards finalists on our vInspired National Awards pages.
