If you have been volunteering, now is the time to log your hours so that you have the chance to win a Bronze (50hrs), Silver (100hrs), Gold (150hrs), Platinum (250hrs) or Diamond award (350hrs). CCCU Volunteering Awards (Certificate and LinkedIn Badge) look excellent on your CVs and in your search for Graduate Roles. Awards for 2023/24 can only be awarded during this period so don't miss the chance to log those hours.

On Wednesday 29 May we will be hosting a celebration event for the Golden Apples (Students nominating Staff), The GradForce Awards, the Student Voice Awards (Reps, Union Council, Peer Mentoring), as well as the Student Volunteering Awards.
