I have no evidence of any past voluntary work - Is that a problem?

I have done some voluntary work in the past but there isn't any hard evidence of it. I've briefly mentioned it on my old personal statements but that's all. Is it a problem?

I will be doing some UK and international voluntary/paid which I will definitely make a diary of.

As long as you can talk about the skills you learnt and what you actually did then it should be fine. If people lie about volunteering, they often get caught out when they are talking about what they did.
I think a couple of places require proof, St. Georges is one of them, but otherwise as long as you can talk about your experience you should be fine.
Phone or email everywhere you're thinking of applying? That'll put your mind at ease
