Volunteering Fair
Barton Peveril College held its first Volunteering Fair on Thursday 25 February to coincide with National Student Volunteering Week.
20 voluntary organisations arrived to man stands and give presentations to promote the various opportunities available both locally and nationally.
Students also had the opportunity to listen to talks by organisations about the benefits of work experience and volunteering. One of the most popular talks was from Southampton Hospital. With work experience become more vital for students that are considering a career in the medical field this talk gave the students information on how the scheme at Southampton Hospital worked, what was involved and the minimum commitment that students have to give.
The day was a great success with students being able to chat informally to the representatives and gather information on activities open to them.
With the current economic climate, volunteering has become increasingly important giving students the chance to gain transferable skills which when writing CV's or Personal Statements for university supports evidence of their development both spiritually, holistically and academically.
