Speaking about the impact of volunteering, Jackie Bull, director for The Duke of Edinburgh's Award in the Central England Region, said:
"Volunteering is all about making a difference to other people's lives and giving back to society, and these latest figures demonstrate the huge impact that our young people are having in their communities."
Volunteering also provides an opportunity for youngsters to give back their time to others who have helped them in their lives and to be in a new environment in to enhance their skills for life and work.
The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is a youth achievement award for young people aged 14-24.
