Charity and Voluntary Sector
MoD: Two Royal Marines who were injured in Afghanistan have paddled 125 miles (200km) in 28 hours for charity. Captain Jon White (a triple amputee) and Colour Sergeant Lee John Waters from 40 Commando Royal Marines were both badly injured in separate incidents in Afghanistan during Operation HERRICK 12 in the summer of 2010.
VSO: A new partnership between the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme and VSO will maximise the potential of volunteering to help citizens drive development forward themselves.
