The Student Volunteering England Gold Awards are the only nationally recognised awards where students’ achievements are honoured by workers in community volunteering and their peers. The Gold Awards are there to support and recognise our most amazing students, up and down the country institutions will be allocating them prestigiously. As such, they are a prestigious mark of excellence in student volunteering.
From unsung heroes to those who have defied the odds, or shown remarkable leadership, each year, the Gold Awards reward a select band of special student volunteers. In particular they reward leadership, dedication and achievement.
This year UPSU had the pleasure in awarding 5 students the Awards and received the Student Volunteering Gold Award certificate in recognition of their hard work.
Leadership – Students who excel in leadership may have run their own volunteering project or taken a lead on a committee or other volunteering events. They will have been responsible for guiding other students as well as being a team player and volunteering themselves.
