Get involved in the UK’s biggest single day of volunteering!
Every year tens of thousands of people get together across the UK to make a difference in their communities for CSV Make a Difference Day. Charities, schools, community groups, universities, companies and the public sector all take part, and hundreds of local heroes organise their own projects for the day. This year it takes place on Saturday 30 October 2010 - and you can be part of it!
Make a huge difference by setting up a project for the campaign. Whether you’re an individual or part of an organisation, we’ll help you to set up your own activity, with a wide range of fun resources, help and advice. Also, thousands of projects up and down the country will be looking for volunteers. There is something for everyone - all you need to do is get in touch with the organiser, turn up and get stuck in! It’s the perfect way to have fun, meet new people, and above all make a difference.
People can find your activity on the website, making the campaign a fantastic way to recruit new volunteers. Over the past 14 years, two thirds of those who volunteered for the first time on CSV Make a Difference Day were still doing so six months later.
Start planning your activity today! Click here for details. Request the free campaign resources by calling Freephone 0800 284 533 or emailing .
