Sign up to a volunteering event
There’s plenty of ways that you can lend a helping hand in our local neighbourhoods. And don’t
forget at the end of the year we’ll take a vote on the colleagues who made a real impact.
The winner will receive the grand prize of a £500 Westfield voucher!
There’s plenty to get involved in this
year and the more you do, the bigger a
difference you could make.

Volunteer in a fast paced, interactive day helping to build
the employability and enterprise skills of students!
You’ll coach students to develop and deliver a product idea
and pitch through a series of interactive activities.
Money matters with young people
A fun, exciting and engaging day building the personal finance
skills of students as they work through budgeting and money
values activities. Volunteers will develop leadership, presenting,
communication and teamwork skills.
Build the leaders of tomorrow!
Work with a group of year 10 and year 11 prefects in half day
sessions to identify their own styles of leadership and ways
of dealing with challenges. This is an opportunity to make
a real impact on young people, empowering them with the
skills and confidence needed to lead. Volunteers will develop
communication, presenting, influencing and creative thinking skills.
Join a business action group for schools
Schools have a Business Action Group made up of business
volunteers and the school’s senior leadership team.
Meeting three times a year, the board pulls together a
strategy of career events for students, and opportunities
to support the needs of the school and staff.
We need to recruit colleagues to volunteer for these
events, book rooms within your offices for activities to take
place, or help run some sessions with students. We need
passionate, creative and committed people interested in
supporting the career paths of the next generation.
Inspire the next generation
We need volunteers to run fun, informative and engaging sessions
with year 10 students, with a focus on your industry/profession,
with a short talk and quick challenge for the students. Volunteers
will need to develop materials and resources, but we can advise
and support on this. Volunteers will be set up in a classroom
for the school day, visited by groups of students for 30 minute
sessions visited by groups of students for 30 minute sessions.
