THE newly established ‘vteam’ made an impact at this year’s Herefordshire Young Farmers Club rally, running a photo competition and completing research into young people’s ideas about volunteering. The vteam is part of a national initiative promoting volunteering among young people aged between 16 and 25 years working with organisations and young people. Nationally recognised v certificates celebrating volunteering achievements are awarded. John Williams, the development manager, said: “This is an important opportunity for young people in Herefordshire making a positive contribution to local communities and also to help themselves.” James Rogers, the youth volunteer advisor, will be recruiting a youth action team in the coming months to make sure the whole programme is ‘youth led’ in all parts of its work.
