We are planning another Reward and Recognition event following our successful volunteer celebration in March where MEV volunteers attended Manchester Town Hall to receive their certificates and badges.

The Volunteer Reward and Recognition Programme was developed in October 2006 to reward volunteers for the invaluable time they give to MEV and Host Organisations. You can, of course, choose whether or not to take part but should you wish to, you can record the number of hours you spend helping out at events and other opportunities. Once you have reached certain milestones you will be rewarded accordingly with various items such as certificates, pin badges and more!

50 hours of volunteering - Bronze Award
100 hours of volunteering - Silver Award
200 hours of volunteering - Gold Award
300 hours of volunteering - Platinum Award
500 hours of volunteering - Special Achievement Award

We can only accredit events which have been generated through the MEV newsletter or website.
