Volunteer Centre Shetland

• MV Awards (previously Millennium Volunteer Awards) are available
  for young volunteers between the ages of 16 and 25. 

• The awards are endorsed by the Scottish Government and are a
  positive recognition of the volunteer’s achievements. 

• MV Awards are available after 50 or 100 hours of volunteering;
  the Award of Excellence is awarded to those who complete 200 hours. 

• If you are volunteering, getting your MV Award is simple. 
  You just fill in some forms, and we can help. 
  Your supervisor fills in forms and keeps a timesheet of the hours
  you have volunteered.  It’s that easy!

• Hours that you’ve already given (since your 16th birthday) count.
  Training time, and time spent travelling within Shetland can be
  included too. The hours for each Award have to be completed within 2 years.
