Call for nominations - Roffey Family Volunteerism Award

One of our many prestigious awards at Presentation Night (this year's event is on Thursday 12th December), is the Roffey Family Volunteerism Award.

This award recognises and honours a student’s significant contribution to the local community through their activity and participation as a volunteer.

Volunteering is defined as an activity that takes place through a recognised community organisation and is undertaken:

• outside of school hours and must include duties not associated with school 
• over a reasonable period of service/number of hours, within the current school year
• to be of demonstrated benefit to the local community 
• for no reward or financial gain
• freely and of the student’s own volition 
• to be an inspiration for others

A student who receives any reward or financial benefit for their volunteer work is ineligible for this award.

Note: Reward or benefit does not include trophies, medals, certificates or other forms of acknowledgment of achievement the student may have received from a community organisation.

The award is:

• To recognise and acknowledge the volunteer contribution a student individual has contributed to their community. 
• To celebrate and support the work of the student volunteer.
• To inspire students to start volunteering or volunteer more.
