The aim of the VAS Volunteering Awards is to recognise and celebrate Shetland’s many willing helpers and volunteers of all ages who help out and volunteer in their communities the length and breadth of Shetland. Both formal and informal volunteering are recognised in this award with the latter often being overlooked, even by the volunteers themselves. Informal volunteering can be a host of tasks such as providing home-bakes for fundraisers/teas, helping a neighbour in need, litter picking or other ways of supporting the community without formally being involved with an organisation.
