This feature is available for Early Adopters

The record is free on Vinspired for everyone. Some programme features are paid for by the organisations that use them, so that the platform never again depends on one funder. Here is why, in plain words.

What Vinspired costs a charity

Posting opportunities and verifying hours is free, with no cap on volunteers, permanently. Programme is for a charity that runs public events of its own. It adds sign up sheets people can claim without an account, and your own questions on a form.

We never charge by the volunteer, and Community is not a trial. Charities bring the opportunities that make Vinspired worth using, so posting and verifying stay free.

The first Vinspired closed in 2018 when its funding ran out. This one is a company that pays for itself, so the free level does not depend on a grant being renewed. Why there is a price at all

When you should not buy this

Community does everything you need if you only recruit volunteers and verify their hours. Programme is for a charity that runs public events and opens sign up sheets of its own.

Optional

Be the reason the free level stays free

Posting roles, recruiting and verification cost your organisation nothing. Something else pays for them. An organisation that can spare a little keeps them free for the ones that cannot.

What you get

  • Your supporter badge beside your name, if you want it shown.
  • Your name on the supporters page, if you want it there.
  • A letter each term saying what the money paid for, in numbers.

What it is not

  • It is not a feature. Nothing on Vinspired unlocks because you support it.
  • It is not verification. Verification is free on every level and cannot be bought.
  • It is not earned. Your supporter badge says you chose to give, and it never sits in the awards area beside the badges people earn.

Supporting is for organisations and for people 18 and over. A supporter badge is given, never earned, and it never sits beside the badges and certificates that are. A certificate is the highest thing anyone earns here, and it cannot be bought.

Supporting is not a plan

If what your organisation needs is a capability, buy the level that includes it. Supporting adds no feature and never will.

Every organisation is verified before it can contact anyone

Verification is free and it works the same on every level. Young people use Vinspired, so we check who you are before you can reach one. Paying does not skip a step.

  1. Email verified

    Post opportunities, receive applications, and reply inside a conversation somebody started with you.

  2. Approved by a person

    We review your organisation and your named safeguarding contact. You can then message your own members and applicants.

For your trustees and your funders

Trustees ask three things about a new system. What does it cost, what happens to the data, and what happens if it stops. The cost is one amount a year, with no charge per volunteer. Your data is exportable at any time and is never sold. If you stop paying, your account moves back to the free level with every record intact.

How buying works

How you pay

One invoice a year, in advance, payable within 30 days by bank transfer. Card payment arrives with self service checkout. There is no charge per volunteer, so the invoice is the same whether ten people volunteer or a thousand.

What you can hand a funder

A CSV of hours and activity you can put in a report. The public impact profile as a link. A written note from us confirming what the platform recorded and how it was verified. Ask and we will write it.

Existing partners keep their rate until their renewal, and hear from us in writing before anything changes.

Questions people ask us

Do you charge per volunteer, per pupil or per hour?

No. Nothing is priced per volunteer, per pupil, per hour, per certificate or per export. More people taking part is the point, and your invoice will never rise because it happened.

Is the free level really free, or is it a trial?

It is free and permanent. There is no time limit and no cap on volunteers or students. We say which things it does not include on each card, so you can see what you would be paying for.

Can we pay monthly?

No. One agreement and one invoice a year. Schools pay against a purchase order, and card payment for charities is coming.

What happens if we stop paying?

Your account moves back to the free level at the end of the agreement and nothing is deleted. Data is returned or deleted under the data processing agreement, and volunteers keep their own records either way.

We have no budget this year. What then?

Then stay on Community. It is free, it has no cap, and it is not a trial. Tell us when the year looks different.

How do you verify organisations?

Email verification first, then human approval with a named safeguarding contact. What you can do with messaging depends on how far you have got, never on what you have paid.

Will our price change?

Existing partners keep their rate until their renewal, and hear from us in writing before anything changes. Every price is published on one page with the reason beside it.
