Volunteer Recognition Event 2024

Volunteer Recognition Event 2024

Thank you to everyone who came to the Volunteer Recognition Event on Friday 5 July - it was so lovely to see you there! And, a huge thank you to all of our volunteers for your valuable contribution - volunteers are at the heart of the OU Students Association, and we couldn't do what we do without you!

The staff team wanted to share their gratitude for the time you have given to the OU Students Association. Here are their messages of thanks.

Even though the event has now been and passed, there are still plenty of ways you can get involved:

  • Following on from Natalie and Nichola's fantastic Mindapples session, you can download this free tip sheet on how to feed your mind.

 

  • Justin from the University's Careers and Employability Service (CES), shared a host of links to help you make the most of your volunteering experience, such as navigating your future, how to contact a Careers Consultant, a guide to planning your career, accessing CES on the Help Centre and the OpportunityHub. He even shared an action planning template, to help you break down your goals into small, manageable steps.

 

  • You'll have the opportunity to catch-up with your fellow volunteers and some of the staff team at our next Volunteer drop-in sessions. Two sessions will be held on Tuesday 6 August, between 12:30 and 1:30pm and 6-7pm, so please do let us know if you think you'd like to stop by and we will send you a calendar invite.

 

  • If you would like a personalised certificate to recognise your valuable contribution to volunteering, please email our team who will share one with you.

 

  • Please let us know what you think, by completing our Volunteer Feedback survey - what you think is really important to us, and will help us to shape the volunteering experience in the future!

 

  • Finally, you can also download your bespoke OU Students Association volunteer planner and screensaver by following the links below:
