Volunteering projects are a great way to get healthyBetween now and October 19, Honda is donating £5 to BTCV for every test drive of the new Insight hybrid car.

Available at all participating Honda dealerships across the UK and Northern Ireland, this fundraising initiative is part of the company’s ‘Everyone Wants To Be Good’ campaign.

This aims to promote the environmental benefits of the Honda Insight hybrid car and encourage volunteering on community environmental projects.

BTCV is the UK’s leading green volunteering charity, with the world’s largest team of green volunteers, operating locally, throughout the UK and in 26 countries.

The charity’s volunteering projects are a chance to get active, improve fitness and wellbeing, and improve the local environment.

They offer free sessions of practical conservation activity, offering a chance to ‘work-out’ in the great outdoors (without a rowing machine in sight) and learn traditional skills with an experienced leader.

Janet Ford, BTCV senior corporate partnerships manager says: “Book your test drive today and help BTCV raise vital funds to work with even more volunteers on practical environmental projects in local communities.”
