Welcome
Welcome to the 2019-20 Bristol Hub
Impact Report, an opportunity for us to
celebrate the incredible impact
created by student volunteers in their
local communities, the personal growth
of our students, and a space to explore
the future direction of Bristol Hub.
Although we're a team of two, we've
been able to lead and be a part of
exciting developments. Our 'Active'
programmes have been running for two
years attracting a new audience of
volunteers and now working with more
young people across the city. Schools
Plus has remained our most popular
project, which now offers virtual
tutoring. LinkAges launched a
Japanese Memory Group for students
to learn about memory loss and support
residents at St Monica Trust and lastly,
the Social Innovation Programme is fully
adapted to run online, which was
piloted during quarantine measures.
Our student committee continue to be
the powerhouse of our work. This year
they've supported volunteers, built a
community and run some ambitious
and successful events such as a
Sustainability Showcase bringing
together local charities and businesses
and a Food Waste Cafe to reduce
waste and raise money for Caring in
Bristol.
Why does it matter?
Bristol Hub inspires students to use their
power and potential to shape a better
world, connecting them to opportunities
to make a difference during their time
at university and encouraging students
to become active citizens for life.
We provide students with the
opportunity to do practical
volunteering, skilled placements and
microvolunteering. Through all of our
opportunities we believe that students
learn about social issues, connect with
one another and develop valuable
skills and experience. At the same time
communities benefit from fresh
perspectives and added capacity and
resources.
The changes to our lives and work
during this year have been challenging.
We're mindful of how this alters working
with students and our community, but
have already seen the willingness to
adapt and learn. We're excited to see
how we can support our communities in
a testing but dynamic climate.
