Ambassador & Trustee Amana talks about virtual volunteering
Hi all,
I hope you are enjoying the end of term – it’s been a unique one!
At Discovery, we aim to support our volunteers and service users as much as possible. It has been a difficult year and we want to support everyone as best as we can. Enter Virtual Volunteering! It would mean a lot to us if we can get you guys to take part in some online volunteering projects over the Christmas break.
This is a fantastic opportunity for you to utilise some spare time and make a huge impact to yourself and others over the holidays. Not only this, but you can develop and learn new skills, meet other volunteers and its super flexible!
Volunteering projects include fundraising for the World Food Programme just by playing games, help to cure illnesses from your home computer, transcribe letters from the anti-slavery revolution, have the chance to see the Northern Lights and so much more!
Whatever your passion, there is something for you!
For our awesome line-up of Virtual Volunteering over Christmas go to https://discoverysvs.org/our-projects/virtual-volunteering/ . Discovery has also produced two fab guides for the holiday period. The first one outlines some of the volunteering opportunities available to you over the holiday period and the second is a Holiday Guide where you will find puzzles, self care examples and exercises, funny cracker jokes, pet pics and information where to get support, find a Christmas dinner and much more! Much of the content has been created by students for students, and couldn’t have been done without the contributions of our volunteers here at Discovery. Check out the guides below:-
On behalf everyone at Discovery, we hope you stay safe over the Christmas period.
Take care,
Amana Baig
Discovery Trustee and Ambassador
