VOLUNTEERING:

Work experience previously extended to remembering how everyone in the office took their tea but charity Vinspired is helping change that image by helping 16 to 25-year-olds find the perfect placement to inspire them, improve communities and increase their career prospects.

'In these financially challenging times, it has never been more important for young job-seekers to stand out and be noticed by employers, and it is equally important for businesses to ensure they recognise the desire for self-improvement,' says Dragons' Den star James Caan, just one of the scheme's high-profile backers.
