Who are Volunteer Champions?
Volunteer champions are local residents of the Black Country who have inspired communities through their dedicated time, commitment and efforts through volunteering to get more people active. A volunteer champion would be influential to others, promote the mental and physical benefits of volunteering and be an advocate to the wider community.
Why should I get involved?
Volunteer champions will benefit from a £50 incentive to support their respective volunteering role. This can be used to support travel costs or purchasing equipment for example. Our volunteer champions will also be promoted through our website, social media and case studies.
How do I get involved?
To be involved with this new initiative, please can you complete the two-page application form which outlines questions on current responsibilities in volunteering, barriers and benefits. We also require 2 images and a reference from an individual or organisation that has benefited from, or witnessed your volunteering in action. Once completed you will hear back from Active Black Country within two weeks of submission.
