Best Volunteering Initiative

Excellent Volunteering Initiatives enable students to extend their education by accessing opportunities to develop skills and beneficial relationships outside of their degree. These initiatives are often a mutually beneficial collaboration between students and staff and can sometimes involve external community organisations.

A successful initiative will facilitate active student learning through participation in specific volunteering activities. It will show evidence of developing a student’s skills in a particular area or a group of areas, that better prepares them for life and work both on and off-campus. It will showcase adaptability to the needs of students, providing them with opportunities for engagement at multiple levels, and a positive lasting experience with meaningful outcomes.

An initiative being submitted in this category can be a new initiative or a recurring one that has been held on or off-campus, or online. This award celebrates excellence in Volunteering Initiatives and must have been run for students by a member campus during 2024/25.

Initiatives can include but are not limited to: volunteer programs, corporate volunteering initiatives, programs, peer-to-peer support development programs, internships etc.
