UK charity launches online Favour Farm to encourage youth volunteering
Howard Lake | 7 August 2009 | Blogs
V – the UK charity that aims to inspire youth volunteering has just launched a fun new site called The Favour Farm to encourage young people to do favours for those around them in everyday life.
These favours can be as simple as giving a friend a hug through to taking part in a charity campaign and the site lets you record these in the form of small fluffy ‘favours’ that live on the farm. Friends doing things together can gather their animals into flocks and there’s a competition for the largest flock, with prizes of festival tickets and the like.
It’s certainly a great looking site with plenty of interactive animated content and each favour recorded also links to a related V volunteering opportunity – to illustrate the type of volunteering the favour creator might be interested in trying-out.
