What students say about volunteering
7
“I work with young people in community areas all over Belfast. Currently I’m working with a group in North Belfast on a Personal Development programme, which focuses on first aid, humanitarian education and teamwork and leadership skills. I find it incredibly rewarding when I’m able to use my skills to the benefit of other young people, watch them develop and see how their perceptions and beliefs are challenged. I feel that I have also benefited greatly from my experience of working with young people in the communities across Belfast. I am so glad I became a volunteer!” Aidan Bannon, Medicine Student.

Northern BankThrough Northern Bank Staff Volunteer Grants Programme we at Northern Bank value and recognise the vital contribution made by our staff in their own time. The grants are always well received by employees and by the local community groups and charities who benefit. Furthermore in our Freedom Experience Academy we encourage students to stand out from the crowd. One such way to achieve this is through volunteering.*
Belfast Media GroupThe Belfast Media Group advocates through its publications, events and moreover as employers the need to serve our local communities with respect. Volunteering can open up many doors for not only our youth but for all age groups whilst growing experience, nurturing skills, encouraging working relationships with our peers and moreover, experiencing the skills involved in the sharing of work-based knowledge and involvement in communities of practice.*
Sainsbury’sSainsbury’s understands the importance of volunteering through its Local Heroes Scheme which recognises and rewards the charitable activities of colleagues for local causes and puts local communities at the heart of its business. The skills and experiences gained through volunteering are invaluable once brought back into the business and as our research has shown impact significantly on how our employees feel about working for us and the wider community around them.*

Secret module one - volunteering with charities or voluntary organisations
Sheila’s storySheila uses her entrepreneurial skills and passion for others to help raise money for local charities on a yearly basis. Sheila started the naked calendar after attending a suicide prevention training course last summer provided by P.I.P.S (Public Initiative for the Prevention of Suicide and Self-harm). After this training Sheila decided that she wanted to raise funds for P.I.P.S in a creative and innovative way within the student population. To do this she brainstormed with close friends to think of something that would engage students and as a result they thought that a naked calendar would be something that students would purchase.

Sheila has not only dedicated her time to raising money for P.I.P.S, but also to the Make-A-Wish foundation. Sheila also worked in a team of six to win the Meximum - Business challenge this year. The challenge consisted of designing a business strategy, presenting it to a panel of judges and running a busy Mexican restaurant in Botanic Avenue to launch a new breakfast burrito. Sheila decided to go the extra mile and set up a JustGiving page and came up with the idea of collecting money in the SU and MBC. Due to their hard work and charitable nature, the team raised £1399.85 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The team also donated their £1000 prize to the charity.

QUB SIFE (Students in Free Enterprise) invited second year students from schools right across Northern Ireland to Queen’s for the culmination of their Fusion project. Fusion involved working with eight schools from both sides of the community. The project began by giving the schools bottled water which they sold over a period of two weeks.SIFE provided help and support for the second year students involved throughout the process providing support on a school by school basis. The sales were phenomenal with the total reaching almost £9,000.

Secret module two - your own volunteering project
What do I need to do? Setting up or organising your own project can seem like a big task so it is better to think of it in small steps.
1Register with the Volunteer Academy.
2Whether you have an idea or aren’t exactly sure
what you want to do - you need to carry out a small bit of research to confirm that your project or concept will address a need in the local community. This will help when it comes to designing your project and applying for funding.
3Come up with a project outline - what you aim to
do, how you plan to do it, how many people you need or want to be involved and the budget.
4Send a copy of your project proposal to:
If need be, we can meet up with you to discuss any questions or concerns you may have. We will also facilitate a meeting with UnLtd.
5 Get in touch with UnLtd. to talk about funding
your project. If you meet their criteria, they may be able to provide you with funding for your project. They will also be able to give you advice on how to develop your idea.
6Collect your Millennium Volunteer Handbook to
record all your volunteering activities.
7Record everything - whether it’s holding
a collection bucket for a day or training for a volunteering project.
8Attend at least two of our workshops throughout
the year. This will also help develop your skills, as well as getting you that one step closer to graduation.
9Meet your Student Officers who will sign
off on your activities throughout the year as well as give you advice and support in the development of your project.

doing.

The final event saw the students give up some of their Easter holidays to come to Queen’s. SIFE ran a Stock Market Challenge which focused on developing the participants communication, teamwork, leadership and mathematic skills. SIFE volunteers carried out an array of duties over the course of two months planning, organising, running and sustaining the event. The time Queen’s students give to Fusion is voluntary and it is estimated participating students volunteered anything from 5-30 hours per week on the project!

This year they have successfully, and independently, developed a unique initiative called the “Personal Development Certificate”, which is targeted at youth groups in interface areas in North and West Belfast, and aims to develop the skills and qualifications of young people who may be disadvantaged, disengaged or have been excluded from school. The development of QURC’s “Personal Development Certificate” has been a key achievement in the groups first year, and marks them as a unique and dynamic group. QURC have run two very successful pilot projects this year and have been awarded a £2,000 Starbucks grant to help this initiative in the future, with better resources at hand.
