V is an independent charity aiming to inspire a new generation of volunteers (aged 16-25) in England. We do this by funding voluntary organisations all over England to create inspiring, diverse opportunities and by helping to overcome barriers that stop people from taking action to improve lives, communities and the planet. Our aim is to create a culture where volunteering comes naturally - and where the benefits of volunteering are understood and celebrated. V was launched in May 2006 as a result of the Russell Commission report, A National Framework for Youth Action and Engagement. |

Volunteering is giving up your time to help others without payment. This can cover a wide range of activities such as youth work, arts projects, sports, animal welfare or environmental work. Each placement is tailored to the young person's interests. What are the benefits? Being able to help others offers extreme personal rewards. However, volunteering can also give young people a chance to develop themselves and their interests, build confidence and self esteem, learn new skills and make new friends. Case studies |
