What is an NHS hour vs. a Non-NHS hour?
An NHS hour can be logged only from opportunities that we offer to members. This can be found in the Service Events page on this website.
Ex: PADS
A Non-NHS hour comes from an opportunity that we do not offer that you find on your own.
Ex: Volunteering at local food pantry
