Quotes

There are many reasons that volunteering’s great! Below are quotes from our student volunteers about their experiences, and from important people/organisations about how they view volunteering.


"Volunteering is a win-win, win-win situation"
Steve Smith, Vice Chancellor of Exeter University


“73% of employers stated that they would rather employ someone with voluntary experience, than someone without.”
TimeBank, award winning national volunteering charity


“Volunteers are amongst those who are more likely to have “sparkle”, the self-confident, self-aware, unafraid individuals who look at your face when you are interviewing them as they have more confidence and more to talk about.”
Linsey Perry, Graduate Recruiter, Network Rail


“I have had a wonderful experience and have been able to take part in really worthwhile and enjoyable activities. I have also made some great new friends"
Krupa Patel, Kingston University, Medical Biochemistry student


“This project has helped me develop an understanding of how schools work from an adult point of view. It has also given me the opportunity to reflect on my own experiences at school. Through this mentoring programme I have gone through a lot of personal development”
Ruhul Abdin, Kingston University, Architecture

“What an amazing experience so far! The children as well as all the teachers have been great and so supportive. I really couldn’t have asked for more in a volunteering position, not to mention how good it is to have something other than assignments and deadlines to concentrate on, even it is only for a couple of hours a week. I highly recommend volunteering to any student!’
Lisl Van Rijswijk, Kingston University, History of Ideas with Sociology
