William Henry Award - How do I get my award?

If you don't currently have one, you can create a free account. Click the 'Applications/forms' tab, followed by 'William Henry Award'. Complete the Volunteering Hours submission form then click 'Save Form'. Please aim to submit your hours within 1 month of volunteering.
William Henry Award - Can I include all of the hours I have already spent volunteering to date? Expand Only volunteering activity from 1 January 2025 will count towards the William Henry Award.
William Henry Award - How long do I have to submit my hours after volunteering? Expand Please complete the volunteering hours submission form on your RLSS UK Account within 1 month of the volunteer activity.
William Henry Award - How is this scheme different from the old William Henry Reward which ran from 2016-19? Expand RLSS UK values the contributions of all our volunteers, no matter how big or small. We therefore felt it was important to move away from an annual leaderboard to a more inclusive system. The new Award is now cumulative, so our volunteers have the opportunity to reach the various milestones, whether this takes them one year of volunteering or many.
William Henry Award - When do my volunteering hours expire? Expand We recognise that everyone has different commitments so you can work towards the volunteering milestones on whatever timescale is best for you. The hours you register will not expire, but please ensure you submit them within 1 month of completing the activity.

William Henry Award - Why do I need to upload photos/videos of my volunteering? Expand Uploading media content is optional, but we love to be able to see and share what our volunteers are getting up to in their local communities. Please ensure you have consent from everyone in the photos - you will need to tick to confirm this when uploading.
William Henry Award - How can I view the hours I have submitted? Expand Our team processes the William Henry Award manually, meaning you cannot view the running total of hours you have submitted.
