Barclays is donating space on the front of some of its ‘Boris Bikes’ in London to
volunteering and learning charity CSV to promote its ‘Make a Difference – Get Inspired’
campaign.

The campaign aims to raise awareness of volunteering, its positive impact in local
communities, and to urge people across the UK to volunteer in their communities 
during October.

Ashok Vaswani, CEO Barclays Retail and Business Banking, said: “Make a Difference–
Get Inspired! is the flagship volunteering campaign which we have supported for 
13 years. It promotes and celebrates volunteering and how contributing time and 
skills to a variety of causes benefits the community as a whole. That’s why we’re
delighted to be able to use our sponsorship of Barclays Cycle Hire to support such
a valuable initiative.”

The [CSV](http://www.csv.org.uk/) campaign has been running since 1986. Until now
it has focused on one day of local events. This year, for the first time, the campaign
runs for the whole of the month.

Last year the campaign succeeded in inspiring 70,000 people to take part in over
2,000 events across the country, making “the UK’s biggest day of volunteering: to
date.
