Have you taken part in some volunteering work this year? Complete the Student Volunteer Recognition Form to celebrate your success and reward your efforts.
We are keen to recognise the valuable contributions made by student volunteers. Your efforts have not only benefited society but have also helped to grow your personal development.
If you've taken part in volunteering within the current academic year (2024/2025), we encourage you to complete the Student Volunteer Recognition Form. By doing so, you'll be eligible for rewards and recognition for your hard work. The deadline to complete the form is Thursday 24 April 2025.
We know that volunteering is as diverse as the millions of people who do it and comes in many forms and we want to recognise all of them. So, if you’ve volunteered with a UK-registered charity, community group, social enterprise or non-profit organisation, you're eligible to apply.
The Westminster Employability Award (WEA) is also open to all students and helps boost your career and personal development by formally recognising the extra-curricular activities you complete during your time at Westminster.
If you have volunteered for 25 hours or more, you’ll be eligible for 50 WEA points! All you’ll need to do is complete the Student Volunteer Recognition Form. Even if you have volunteered for a shorter time, fear not - irrespective of the length of your volunteering, you can apply for a Certificate of Achievement, further enhancing your CV!
And lastly, if you feel that you've made an exceptional contribution to society through volunteering, nominate yourself for the 'Student Volunteer of the Year' award. If successful, you'll be invited to the Westminster Employability Awards Celebration in the summer and will be awarded a monetary prize for your volunteering success. To apply for the award, simply complete the relevant section at the end of the Student Volunteer Recognition form.
