Join the 5000 Hour Volunteer Challenge

We’re excited to introduce the 5000 Hour Volunteer Challenge, aiming to log 5,000 hours of volunteering by the end of May. Participants not only contribute to meaningful causes but also stand a chance to win exciting prizes such as a V10 award, an iPad mini, and iTunes vouchers.

Achieve the V10 Award

Volunteers are recognized with a V10 award upon completing ten hours of volunteering. If you’re enthusiastic about making a difference, you can further earn V50 and V100 awards. These accolades are nationally recognized and add significant value to your CV, enhancing your employability.
