Take part in the UCV awards and receive recognition for your volunteering!

Once you have registered with us as a volunteer and start recording your volunteer hours, you will then be eligible to apply for our volunteering awards. These awards provide recognition for your commitment based on the number of hours you log, and provide the opportunity to record and reflect on your volunteer experience. You could also get the chance to participate in an employability workshop and practice your presentation skills.
