Helping Hands Awards
Barnardos 'Helping Hands' Young Volunteers Award 2012 (Supported by Softech)
Aim
To promote the spirit of volunteering by encouraging and supporting young people's involvement in volunteer activities.
Who can enter?
Anyone who is under the age of 25 can be nominated. You can either nominate yourself or nominate another person whose volunteer work has made an impact on you or others.
Examples of volunteering
Environment and conservation projects, fundraising, helping in the local community, working with disadvantaged groups, helping in youth groups, volunteering overseas. The list is endless...
It can be any activity that involves giving freely of personal time to help others and that contributes to creating a healthy society to live in.
We want to hear your stories of your own 'Helping Hands' experience of volunteer work - or if nominating someone else how the nominees 'HelpingHands' made a difference to you or to others.
