vinspired.com - legit or not

[matt2007]

Been asked by a pal if I had heard of or used vinspired.com to volunteer.

On one level it look legit but promoting itself to the top of the google page makes me a bit concerned

Any one know anything or used them? Ta

Vinspired is a legit charity - from what I remember from a few years ago when I worked in local government they work with young people aged 14 - 25 offering volunteering and leadership opportunities - seemed to be a bit like youth club crossed with Duke of Edinburgh crossed with community work crossed with CV / UCAS boosting opportunities crossed with skills development to reduce youth unemplyment. No idea about their Glastonbury involvement though - not heard of them in this context.

I was a volunteer through vinspired for several years and was part of my local youth action team. Sadly now due to funding cuts they have an online presence and a few groups in London as far as Im aware. Also good for searching for voluntary activities in your local area

For jobs / volunteering at Glastonbury they can go to the festival link :

Otherwise Id contact check local small independent festivals for volunteer jobs
