‘Action’ - Volunteers
Volunteers are the backbone of our communities and without them we would incur massive extra costs per annum.
In order to continue this crucial service, we have to ensure a regular supply of high quality, committed individuals who can provide young people across the county; ‘somewhere to go’, ‘something to do’ and ‘someone to talk to’.
We are committed to finding suitable activities for young people to become involved in. One scheme is the vinvolved programme, which is an opportunity to gain recognition for the voluntary commitment young people make to their local causes.
We have a team of youth volunteer advisors and youth volunteer development managers dedicated to the delivery of quality volunteering opportunities, which are safe and offer a valuable experience to the young people who will become tomorrow’s leaders.
We have established systems to accredit and reward both adult and young people for their volunteering. These encourage continued participation and an allegiance to their community programme.
BACYP’s action team regularly represent volunteers at national and local events, keeping the profile of volunteering to the forefront of the national agenda.
Through positive youth action we can encourage the development of enterprising behaviour.
