When I was at University I volunteered with Redcar and Cleveland Mind. I studied Psychology and Counselling and Mind is a well-known organisation that I have heard a lot about. I chose this organisation because it is such a great mental health charity to be a part of and the experience they were able to offer me was amazing.
I recently graduated in 2014 after studying Accounting and Business Finance. I took part in lots of volunteering opportunities both on and off campus, including a volunteer with the English Language Cafe helping international students.
I volunteer with Redcar Beacons, Mind (Appropriate Adult and Diversion and Resettlement team) and the Royal Air Force Association (case worker).
I volunteer with Middlesbrough and Stockton Mind, the Witness Service (Citizens Advice Bureau) and Genetic Alliance UK.
I am an Assistant Psychologist with a local NHS mental health Trust, supporting patients and their families, and delivering therapeutic interventions in group and individual settings.
I volunteer with Teesside Samaritans, Teesside Hospice, University Pass Leaders and also as a Course representative Each of the opportunities allow me to further develop my own skill set whilst helping other people.
I volunteer with the Samaritans and I am currently studying psychology and counselling. I have recently become more aware of the importance of volunteering and how having some experience can help with your future career. I hope to develop a career within counselling in the future, and I wanted to gain some important relevant experience, develop new skills and improve and build on my listening and communicating skills. I thought Samaritans would be an ideal organisation to help me do this.
I volunteer and work at The Trinity Youth and Children's Project. The project works with young people from a disadvantaged background aiming to foster emotional, social and cultural development.
I recently completed a three month Graduate internship through Student Services at Platform Arts in Middlesbrough after completing my degree in Graphic Design. I found this very interesting and rewarding and was keen to continue to build my design portfolio.
I am in my third year studying Psychology. Alongside my studies I am a therapeutic care volunteer at James Cook University Hospital and I also teach singing on an evening. The students I teach are of a range of ages and abilities and I have a passion for helping individuals discover and develop their talents within singing. I have been teaching since I was 15 years old and I continue to enjoy and learn from what I do.
During the last 12-18 months of university I logged over 400 hours of voluntary work; this included supporting adult learners to achieve maths and English qualifications and victim support role. However, I’ve spent the most time as a trustee (treasurer) at Middlesbrough Sea Cadets.
I volunteered at St Peter's Primary School in Redcar. My day consisted of supporting children both in groups and individually who were in Year One. I assisted with all subjects across the Key Stage One Curriculum; Literacy, Numeracy, ICT, Geography, History, Religious Studies, Art.
I have been volunteering with the Methodist Asylum Project through Volun-tees and have also volunteered with Middlesbrough Environment City. I found that volunteering has not interfered with my family time and I was able to find good opportunities working with children. I have gained a lot of experience in working with them and understanding their different needs.
