HVA Heroes

Are you looking for a flexible way to make a positive impact in your community? Become a HVA Hero and support not only us here at HVA but also other local charities and community groups. As a HVA Hero, you’ll have the opportunity give back to the community, learn new skills and meet new people. You’ll be an extended part of the HVA family, joining a group of like-minded individuals dedicated to doing good.

Your tasks could include:

• Car park marshalling
• Representing organisations on a stall
• Answering questions of event attendees or checking tickets
• Campaign collectors and sorters (e.g. The Poppy Appeal)
• Decorating for an event
• Running games or face painting 
• Conservation tasks 
• Serving refreshments 
• Collecting/distributing food or clothing
• Support vaccination promgrammes for the NHS or other health services
• And all sorts! 

You could be asked to support at: 

• Sports events
• Music festivals
• Remembrance service
• Community events
• Seasonal events, such as Christmas or summer fetes
• Litter picks 
• Health services events 
• Conservation sessions
• And more! 

We understand that life can be busy, so these ad-hoc volunteering opportunities allow you to choose when you can help. Join us and make a difference when you can!
