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.
