Yesterday we were joined by over 140 people, and many more online around the world, for the first ever VSO Volunteer Awards.

The ceremony took place in Grocers' Hall, central London and was hosted by Mike Wooldridge OBE, former BBC World Affairs Correspondent who volunteered with VSO in Uganda in the 1960s.

We were joined by many of the winners in the room, and those unable to join had pre-recorded video clips.

VSO staff and volunteers joined the event live via Skype and you are warmly invited to watch the video highlights below.
