Please note: Both you and the organisation(s) with whom you volunteer need to be registered for Saltire Awards. You can register with us at Voluntary Action Shetland directly through the forms below. Volunteers need to fill in Form A to register. If you are an organisation please fill in Form C.
After you have registered with us at Voluntary Action Shetland for the Saltire Awards using Form A, you will need to keep track of your volunteering hours. You can do this by downloading a timesheet.
When you have reached a certain amount of hours (10, 25, 50, 100, 200 or 500), you are eligible for an award. To receive an award, one of the organisations you volunteer with needs to request an award for you using the certificate request form (Form D).
We make sure to get in touch with everyone registered with us once a year. We will then ask whether you would like to hand in your timesheets to receive an award. Depending on your award level, you will receive an invite to our next annual Saltire Awards Ceremony in the mail. Therefore it is important we always have your most up-to-date postal address. If you need to change this please get in touch with us.
There are also 2 Saltire Awards available that are not based on hours:
1) A Summit Award is for recognising individuals that have made an outstanding contribution to volunteering in their local community. These volunteers exceed expectations and go above and beyond to stand out from the rest. Individuals must be nominated for this award by their volunteer supervisor.
2) A Challenge Award is given out to those who volunteer with their friends/classmates in a one-off team event. It is the perfect way to start your volunteering journey by making a difference in your community.
You can choose between filling in an online form (blue text below) or downloading a standard Word/PDF file for printing (please see green headings below). Please note that Word/PDF forms have to be manually handed in to us either via email or by posting them/handing them in to reception at Market House.
