Jenkins: Volunteer to go on the trip of a lifetime

- Alistair Foster

KATHERINE JENKINS today urged more people to offer their time for free as she launched a competitio­n to win a volunteeri­ng trip to Africa.

The singer, 36, a patron of the charity Tusk, said: “Volunteeri­ng shows passion, dedication as well as a strong sense of character and I would urge people to take up this incredible opportunit­y to put your hand up and do your part to help protect Africa’s unique heritage. Volunteeri­ng is one of the most valuable and important things you can do with your time and we should all feel a responsibi­lity to protect the beauty of this planet in the best way we can.”

The Tusk and Avios “do more for Africa” competitio­n is offering three placements on projects in southern Africa. To be in with a chance of winning, entrants must upload a video or a short piece of writing with images to show their interest in volunteeri­ng.

Jenkins is on the judging panel for the competitio­n. Enter at avios.com/forafrica.
