GoVolHerts International Volunteers Day 2024 Campaign

Written by

Mandeep Nijjer


We are proud to announce the release of our heartfelt film celebrating International Volunteers Day on Thursday December 5th, 2024. The film celebrates the transformative power of volunteering, highlighting the stories of local volunteers and offering an intimate look at how giving back through small acts of kindness can have a big impact on communities. 

 

Volunteers are the backbone of countless organisations, a theme brought to life in this film, through interviews and real-life stories. It sheds light on the invaluable contributions of volunteers, showcasing how small acts of kindness can make a significant impact on local communities. The film features four remarkable local organisations supported by these volunteers: Garden House Hospice, Hitchin Pantry, CHEXS and British Schools Museum. 


The volunteers featured work across a range of roles, from providing end-of-life care at hospices to tackling food access through community pantries. The interviews reveal the personal rewards of volunteering, with contributors reflecting on how it strengthens their connection to their community.  

 

GoVolHerts offers a free platform for charitable organisations to showcase their volunteering opportunities and events, enabling prospective volunteers to connect directly with over 400 charities.


Find YOUR volunteering moment and sign up for our Volunteer Fair taking place on 22nd January 2025!

Support Your Local Hospice and Complete Your Duke of Edinburgh Award

| News Stories

Looking for a meaningful way to spend your summer? Whether you're working towards your Bronze, Silver or Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award , or just want to get involved in your local community, Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care has flexible and rewarding volunteering opportunities available. You can complete your DofE Volunteering section by helping out in your local Rennie Grove Peace shop , at our Retail HQ in Berkhamsted , or even at our Inpatient Unit . They welcome students aged 17 and over, offering placements where you'll support their friendly shop teams with everything from sorting and pricing donated items to encouraging customers to sign up for Gift Aid. You'll work alongside experienced volunteers and managers, gaining valuable skills in a supportive environment. They are also looking for Ecommerce Fashion Listers to join an online sales team over the summer. It’s a fun, flexible role perfect for anyone interested in fashion, retail, or digital marketing. Previous volunteers have found it a great way to learn new skills while working with a busy and welcoming team. If you’re more hands-on, why not support their retail van drivers and mates? Volunteers ride along from the Berkhamsted base, delivering stock to shops in the morning and collecting items for recycling in the afternoon. This role is essential to keeping shops running and generating vital income for hospice care. It involves some lifting, so a reasonable level of fitness is helpful. Rennie Grove also have ongoing roles across high street shops in Herts , where help is especially needed in summer when many regular volunteers are on holiday. Even short-term help makes a big difference. To see all opportunities and apply online, visit: 🔗 Rennie Grove Peace Volunteering
