BTCV Millennium Volunteers
About Millennium Volunteers
Millennium Volunteers is a national award scheme for 16-24 year olds. It aims to recognise the value of voluntary work undertaken by young people through Awards of Excellence.
BTCV Millennium Volunteers project in Derbyshire is based here in Wirksworth at the Old Methodist Chapel, The Dale. BTCV is the largest deliverer of Millennium Volunteers projects in the country.
Anyone aged 16-24 years of age who wants to volunteer can register and you can also register if you are already helping out with a club or group like Scouts, Guides, youth or sports clubs and you too want to benefit from being a Millennium Volunteer. Registration is completely FREE and there is usually some free gifts to go with it!
We offer:
- Help to find a place to volunteer if required.
- A nationally recognised Award for Excellence after 200 hours.
- £110 funding per volunteer for equipment (like football boots), training (like First Aid and sports coaching) and transport (like bus fares).
- Help and support throughout your volunteering.
Types of Voluntary Work
You can volunteer to do whatever you are interested in.
Here are some ideas:
- DJing at a local radio station
- Scout/Guide leading
- Care work e.g. at a residential centre
- Youth work e.g. in a youth club
- Teaching assistant or buddy reading
- Sports coaching
- Fundraising or campaigning for your favourite charity or good cause
- Army or Air Force Cadets
- Standing on a School council or other committee
We even have a Millennium Volunteer helping with Wirksworth.net!
In Wirksworth we also have Millennium Volunteers at Wirksworth Army Cadet Force and, through a scheme called Step Into Sport, with Wirksworth Netball Club. Young conservation volunteers with BTCV are also registered as Millennium Volunteers.
2005 is the Year of the Volunteer so get involved and become a Millennium Volunteer!
