VM WRS - Donations Wanted!

The 2024 VM WRS class are currently planning to restore the cubby house, located in the primary quadrangle and would like any donations of furniture for the interior e.g. kitchens, tables and chairs. Students are willing to refurbish items, so condition is not overly important, as long as it is suitable and salvageable. For any donations, please contact Rhys Thompson via the College.

Volunteering your free time to help worthy causes is a really noble undertaking. You won’t earn big bucks, but there are plenty of other ways that becoming a volunteer could be of value.

Learn new skills

No matter where you decide to volunteer, there will always be an element of training. Plus there’s skills that you might not even realise you’re working on, like communication, team work, independence, problem solving, and customer service – the list goes on.

Give your resume a boost

Showing commitment to community efforts, or any kind of voluntary work, will speak volumes about your personality. If you’re happy to keep showing up without getting paid, you must be dedicated and motivated; all qualities that universities and future employers will look favourably on.

Form connections and networking contacts

Volunteering could introduce you to people you wouldn’t have met otherwise. Those people could become friends, mentors, or your inspiration. The more you get involved with projects outside your school, the wider you’re casting your net.

Personal development

Increase your confidence
Learn to communicate more effectively
Become a better listener
Learn about your personal strengths and weaknesses
Be more aware of/active about social issues

Positive impacts on your health

Studies have shown that volunteering could contribute to improved mental and physical health.

Start by having a look around your local community and find out what Volunteering options are available to you!
