Here’s what students said about their volunteering experience:
“In my village, a group of people decided and got permission to turn a plot of land into a wildlife meadow. I decided I’d like to help with this, so with my Mum I went to help prune the trees so that they’d be healthier and neater, as well as clean up the ground so that it’d be ready to have wildflower seeds scattered on it. In order to raise money for the wildflower seeds, I also volunteered at my villages Autumn Show on a stall selling dried flowers which people had donated from the allotments.“
“I volunteer at Clifton Primary School, where I help students read and understand the ideas and plots in their books. Different students have different capabilities, so I adjust my vocabulary and teaching style for each. I do this volunteering once every two weeks on Tuesdays. “
“I help children in the lower school improve their reading and support their library lessons. I also mentor Year 11s and give advice for 20-25 minutes, every week”
