New Year New You
Happy New Year from Voluntary Action LeicesterShire
Whether you are an individual or in a group VAL has something for you.
For individuals why not try volunteering?
In it’s simplest form volunteering is about giving your time to do something useful, without getting paid and in return getting
the satisfaction of time and effort well spent. In addition, volunteering can be a great way to meet new people, learn new skills,
gain useful experience and have fun.

If you are in a VCS group, follow VAL’s plan to improve the way you work and help you achieve success in the year ahead. From recruiting volunteers, to helping to determine local priorities for the sector, VAL provides the tools to help you to achieve your full potential this year.
