VOLUNTEER
Our appeal will raise money to support students who take part in the WANT TO:TALK? Scheme at UoB.
We will work with students involved, local experts and the University to determine the best form of support and are aware that this may change so our response will be dynamic. We will continually carry out an analysis of need. These funds will allow us to do the very best we can to support these students, being proactive in the resources we provide whilst catering for those who need more formal support.
