vfifty Volunteering Opportunities

If you’re new to volunteering, vfifty is a great place to start! It’s a really flexible award, which allows you to volunteer in a range of different projects, whilst working towards your first 50 hour volunteering goal.

Fifty hours might sound like a lot of time – but if you’re doing something that you’re passionate about, as well as building your skills and making a difference, it can go pretty fast!

vfifty is also really flexible and fits around your lifestyle – you can volunteer for 1 or 2 hours a week, or you can focus all your volunteering activities over 3 or 4 weekends - whatever suits you.

The main thing is that you complete your 50 hours within 12 months. So, if you start in April 2009, you’ll need to be finished by March 2010. If you start in June 2009, you’ll need to be finished by May 2010 and so on …

The great thing about vfifty is that as well as counting hours, you can also start thinking about the skills you’ve developed through your volunteering, and the positive changes you’re making in your community.
