On International Volunteer Day, North Herts and Stevenage CVS proudly shared a heartfelt film created by our amazing GoVolHerts' project to highlight the incredible impact of volunteering in Hertfordshire. GoVolHerts is kindly made possible thanks to funding from Hertfordshire County Council. The film features inspiring stories from some of our amazing organisations: Garden House Hospice Care, Hitchin Pantry, CHEXS, and the British Schools Museum. It’s a beautiful reminder of how small acts of kindness can create a huge difference. GoVolHerts connects people with over 400 charities across our County who are all in need of volunteers. People like you. We make it easy to find a cause close to your heart.   Please watch the film here: https://lnkd.in/eK_kaiGv   If the film and reflection over the festive break leave you feeling inspired to give back then why not take the next step and take part in the GoVolHerts Virtual Volunteer Fair on 22nd January 2025?
