The Power of 10
The HADCA team is delighted to be able to share that we have secured funding to continue to develop our Power of 10 volunteering scheme in 2024, to inspire young people to seek out opportunities they may not usually explore, building confidence, skills, and good well-being practices along the way.
A big thank you to all our project supporters, the project team and of course the amazing young people who have already given hundreds of hours to make life better for others.
There are 4 tiers to the awards:
• 10 hours – Certificate & badge
• 20 hours - Certificate & badge & certificate presentation folder
• 50 hours – Certificate & badge & branded POF10 t shirt
• 100 hours – Certificate & badge, gift voucher & personal statement workshop.
Having celebrated and recognised many young people over the last 12 months for their volunteering commitment, we know by offering a range of flexible and meaningful opportunities for them to explore, we can support them to boost their confidence, learn new skills, improve wellbeing and feel valued members of our community.
We look forward to recognising many more young people during the year.
Launch of the Power of 10 Award and Reward Scheme
The official launch of the Power of 10 was held on 19th March, kindly hosted by the Ripon Inn. It was an opportunity to network, share ideas, pick up Power of 10 resources and find out more about how local voluntary organisation can recruit more volunteers and support our young people with:
• Volunteering Opportunities
• Employability skills
• Improved mental & physical wellbeing
• Feeling a valued part of the community
• Keeping young talent local
How to get involved
The Power of 10 is an opportunity to celebrate the positive difference young people make in our community and to recognise their contributions.

Do you know a young person who gives time to help out with a local charity, group or club in the Ripon area? Power of 10 would love to award and reward them whether they're helping in a charity shop, a sports club, museum, library, outdoors or anywhere!
