✨Please could you spare a couple of minutes to nominate ViH to be in the draw to win one of the £1000 awards from the Benefact Group Movement for Good? ✨

If we were lucky enough to win an award, £1,000 would really help ViH to keep supporting our community to live happy, healthy and independent lives.

Thank you. Every nomination counts🤞

The amazing Sarah Blanchard popped into the Volunteering in Health office today to present us with a cheque for an incredible £400 after taking part in the Dartmoor Discovery Challenge!

This 33 mile ultra marathon across Dartmoor is definitely not for the faint-hearted, so we're incredibly grateful that Sarah chose to support Volunteering in Health while tackling such a tough event.

As well as ViH, Sarah also raised funds for the Alice Cross Centre and the Goodrington Memory cafe.

Huge thanks to Sarah and everyone who supported her by donating to this fundraiser!
