What was the community impact of your volunteering project? We are yet to do the final part of our project but I know the students will be able to provide fundraising to their chosen charity, which is their goal. They have done a lot of planning and organisation so I know this will be successful.

“I have been lucky enough to receive the SVA kit as a teacher over three years. It is always motivating, engaging and a real treat for students. The kit is full of interactive tools for the students to use, and they are really enthusiastic because of this. The planning sheets, badges and bracelets are all fantastic. These help students to develop their own ideas and keep going with the project.”
