Run a Vinvolved programme - creating new volunteering opportunities for young people 16 to 25 years old to get involved in.  They can either have a taster day or take on short and long term volunteering opportunities. Young people have found volunteering to be great fun, it helps them develop new skills and gives them confidence for the future.

If you are an organisation that can provide opportunities for these young people or know a young person that may be interested contact Kerry Wint on 0782 534 9673.
