We have partnered up with ValueYou. ValueYou is a charity that offers a volunteer recognition scheme for people who dedicate time volunteering in their community. They believe that communities should find ways to say thank you to people who help out.

ValueYou partners with local independent businesses who want to give by offering a discount and gifts to volunteers. Membership is free of charge, and their work helps to encourage people to shop locally and support small businesses.

​So if you have volunteered for Heston West Big Local for over 100 hours and would like to receive a ValueYou Recognition Card, please contact Taz for more information. If you’re not sure how many hours you have volunteered for then please also contact Taz. We thank you for your fantastic dedication to our Big Local community and your valued work and continued contribution.
