Reach has changed its system of awarding certificates.

As of May 2009 we have the following tiers in hours of volunteering:

1- 49 hrs: Achievement Award

50- 99 hrs: Bronze

100- 199 hrs:  Silver

200+ hrs: Gold (the Volunteering England Gold Awards)

What is classed as volunteering?

Examples of volunteering include: being a course rep/StAR, undertaking voluntary work for a charity or a government body, being involved in a youth group, being a school governor, organising or being part of a University society. These are only a few examples, if you are unsure whether what you are currently doing could be classed as volunteering, please contact us to find out.

Please follow the instructions below if you wish to receive a certificate during our celebration event in June 2010. Certificates will be awarded  for volunteering work (one-offs and/or more regular volunteering) undertaken between May 2009 and May 2010:
