Silver surfers from Nottingham appeared alongside Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on This Morning earlier today as part of a campaign to boost volunteering.

The show's You Can Be Heroes volunteering campaign, backed by HRH the Prince of Wales, aims to build on the interest in volunteering inspired by the 2012 Olympics.

The three women also showcased their new found skills live in the studio by answering tweets, emails and Facebook messages from viewers.
