I’ve had an email from vinspired which talks about the awards they are doing for young people who volunteer. So please read on –
My name is Laurence from Cake Public Relations contacting you on behalf of Youth Volunteering Charity vinspired. I am contacting you as I’ve noticed that you’ve previously blogged about volunteering/scouting and I hope this piece of news will be of interest.
At vinspired we believe in giving amazing young volunteers the recognition they deserve. That’s why over the last year we have been working with our v20 members to develop ten new national awards. These exciting new awards, developed by young people, will enable us to recognise exceptional individuals, who have made a big difference to other people or the environment. Your readers could nominate someone for a vinspired National Award, and give a special someone the chance to:
Become a Regional Winner and hence
* Attend an exciting celebration event on November 26th 2009 at indigo @ the o2
* Get recognised in regional press
* Inspire others by having their achievements showcased
Become a National Winner and hence
* Receive an award at a celebration event on November 26th 2009 at indigo @ the o2
* Have their achievements showcased at the event in front of other young people, Chief execs of big organisations and government big wigs…
* Get recognised in regional and national press
* Inspire others by having their achievements showcased
Anyone can nominate although you cannot nominate yourself. These awards are all about saying THANK YOU for the amazing things that young volunteers are doing to change the world. Anyone aged 16 – 25 and living in England can be nominated. They must have made a difference to a community by volunteering since 1st June 2008.
For more information you can head over to: http://www.vinspired.com/awards or watch an introductory video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Gmr6zjkX6g
I was wondering if you could help us spread the word about the vinspired awards by writing a post about the event on your blog.
Do not hesitate to contact me for further information about vinspired or the awards!
All the best

I’ve heard about this organisation as we recently had a letter from the County Council’s youth department asking if we’d like to sign up with them. What this means is that our details are put on their website and if anyone between 16 & 25 fancies doing some volunteering with us, then they get in touch with the vinspired people. Great idea really!
