Film a clip for the Awards
We want to recognise and celebrate the collective force of volunteers. Therefore, we would love you to get involved with the making of a short volunteering film, which will be showcased at the Time2Volunteer Awards 2022. 

We are looking for people to record a short video clip of themselves saying the reason(s) why they volunteer, or, why they love their volunteer(s) and a thank you to them.

A prize draw will be opened for all video entries – with free tickets to give away to join the event, which includes the drinks reception and sparkling afternoon tea.

Please film landscape and start your video with:

I volunteer because… followed by your reasons
(It could be to support employment, learn new skills, help with loneliness and isolation, overcome an illness, make friends, meet new people, to help others, your community, or something else. If you have more of a story to tell, please do share.)

I/We appreciate volunteers because… followed by your reasons
(How do volunteers help you or someone you know personally? How do they help support and deliver your service, support your club or community? What impact do they make?)

Thank you to...
(Give a special shout out and thank you to any volunteers who have helped you or someone you know.)

Videos can be simply recorded on a smart phone or tablet and sent to esg@heysmilefoundation.org, 07706 338813 on WhatsApp or via WeTransfer, before 15th September 2022. 

By submitting your video, you are agreeing for the HEY Smile Foundation to use your clip at the awards and other relevant promotional channels linked to Volunteering.

We look forward to having you involved in making this a positive and celebratory experience for volunteers and volunteer organisations across Hull, East Riding, North and North East Lincolnshire.
