The Volunteer Centre Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde has developed the Do a Bit project to create short-term volunteering opportunities in the Blackpool area. Open badges have been selected as a tool to recognize and reward volunteers for their work. The Centre received funding from the Innovation in Giving fund to implement the open badges program. The Centre will hold information sessions and workshops for volunteers and volunteer organizations to introduce open badges and demonstrate how to collect, award, and design badges. Confirmed dates and locations are provided for the various sessions.
