Young volunteers who have made a difference to the environment and their community were honoured on Saturday.
Nearly 30 Millennium Volunteers aged between 16 and 24 were given awards from South Swindon MP Julia Drown for completing 100 hours' of voluntary service.
The event also commemorated the first anniversary of Millennium Volunteers, a national scheme run in Swindon and North Wiltshire by the British Trust for Conservation.
Co-ordinator Giles Aspinall said: "It is very satisfying to have people complete what they originally sign up to do.
"In this first year, people have committed to a total of 20,000 hours of free service to the environment and community.
"This challenges the image of young people and proves they are active citizens. It is very good for their confidence and their CVs."
Ms Drown said she was proud of the volunteers' achievements.
"It is a celebration of thousands of hours of volunteering in Wiltshire. I hope this will encourage other young people to think about volunteering."
