Georgina second year student -
I would say completing the Platinum award has been demanding, enjoyable, and yet very rewarding. Supporting the members of our shared community is something rewarding in itself, and with the added benefit of receiving recognition in the form of an award, it's a win all round! Although time consuming, it's been quite easy fitting volunteering around my studies.
Natalie final year student -
I have been working on the Platinum module for 16 months. From this I have gained experience in office work, presentation prepararion, workshops, formal meetings, networking, and leading a team. Such experiences have resulted in me developing a range of skills such as confidence, communication, time management and leadership skills.
