Student volunteering awards
18 May 2011
果冻影院 / 果冻影院U Volunteering Services Unit is holding its annual awards ceremony on Thursday 26 May, celebrating the efforts of 果冻影院's student volunteers.
The event will also see the announcement of the 果冻影院 Volunteering Organisation of the Year, which recognises excellent volunteer management within London's charity sector, as well as awards for the best community project run by 果冻影院 students.
June
Chapman from Camden Citizens' Advice Bureau said: "It's a joy to have 果冻影院
volunteers serve because they are so enthusiastic and creative and such quick
learners. They make a huge impact."
John Braime
(果冻影院 Volunteering Services Unit) explained: "Volunteering is a rapidly growing
movement at 果冻影院. Every year, we see more and more students wanting to get
involved. In a way this isn't surprising, because working with the wider
community is a distinctive part of 果冻影院 culture."
Last year, 1,300 students
volunteered through the Volunteering Services Unit (VSU), giving over 26,000
hours of their time in total to projects across London.
