This campaign will be launched on Monday 8th May and will encourage everyone to give some time to support people in their local area.
As the local Volunteer Centre for Leicester and Leicestershire, VAL is tying into this campaign to launch our own FestiVAL celebration in June to champion local volunteering, highlight the fantastic work of our diverse local communities and explore ways to bring people together.
There are so many possibilities for everyone to get involved, so use our VAL resources, make links with local community groups and see what you could do to make a huge difference!
VAL Volunteering Website
As the local Volunteer for Leicester and Leicestershire, VAL has our own dedicated website for Volunteer Involving Organisations to promote their opportunities and for individuals to explore and apply for volunteering roles. If you would like to find out about volunteering in the local area, please have a look: https://volunteer.valonline.org.uk/
Microvolunteering
Want to start some volunteering, but don’t have much time? Why not think about Microvolunteering, which are tasks and activities that can be carried out in small chunks and usually can be very flexible for you to look at around your activities. We have some details here: https://volunteer.valonline.org.uk/microvolunteering/
FestiVAL
Following our first FestiVAL month of celebration in 2022, we will be hosting a series of activities, events and training in June 2023.
Please keep an eye on our website for further updates.
