vInspired

vInspired is an independent charity dedicated to helping young people volunteer in ways that matter to them.

We’ve been around since 2006 and in that time we’ve created more than one million volunteering opportunities and have changed the face of volunteering – one in three young people know who we are.

We believe that young people’s creativity, energy and optimism can change the world. We’re dedicated to helping them improve their skills, confidence and employability whilst doing things they really care about.

We provide opportunities for all young people to do good things – whatever they’re into, wherever they are and however much time they have to give. We make volunteering fun, rewarding and easy!

We’ve brought thousands of volunteering opportunities for 14-25 year olds together on our Opportunity Marketplace. Every day they’re snapped up by proactive young people who care about their future and the world around them.

Over 144,000 young people use vInspired.com to volunteer via more than 2,500 charities. There are plenty of causes to volunteer with, so you’ll find something that matters to you.

Our mission is to make volunteering opportunities so diverse, compelling and accessible that giving up your time to help others becomes a natural lifestyle choice. Here’s how it benefits you.
