Module Delivery Research
This report presents findings from the Students Association’s Volunteering Research Project. This project has explored students’ motivations for volunteering with the Association, the benefits they gain from volunteering and the challenges they might face, and their thoughts on community-based volunteering. Our volunteers have given us their feedback through a variety of channels such as online surveys, focus groups and volunteer journals. This feedback will inform how we develop volunteering opportunities at the Association, and has been invaluable in identifying information and support needs for current and future volunteers. A big "thank you" to all of our wonderful volunteers who contribute so much to the Association and the student community!
