Support Us During Your Studies and Gain Valuable Experience whilst Volunteering

STUDENTS, WE KNOW YOU LEAD INCREDIBLY BUSY LIVES…Juggling studies, exams, and personal commitments. ⏰

Yet, despite this bustling pace, it’s advised that you engage in volunteering activities from time to time as it offers not only an escape but also transformative benefits:

Here are some of them:
 
𝟭. 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗘𝗻𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Beyond textbooks, volunteering hones practical skills like problem-solving, adaptability, and time management, crucial for future success.
𝟮. 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀: Volunteering exposes you to diverse individuals, helping forge valuable connections both personally and professionally.
𝟯. 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆: Immersing oneself in volunteer work cultivates empathy, fostering a deeper understanding of social issues and diverse perspectives.
𝟰. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Counterintuitive as it may seem, taking time to give back has been linked to reduced stress levels and improved mental well-being.
𝟱. CV/𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Volunteering showcases a commitment to community and personal development, enhancing your CVs/resumes and standing out to future employers.
 
At Kids for Kids, we actively partner with schools and universities throughout the UK and worldwide, encouraging students to embark on the enriching journey of volunteering.

We were delighted when Miruna Magar, studying for her MA in Children, Youth and International Development at Brunel University, got in touch to arrange her 3 month placement with us.

Little did she know, she would be responsible for running a 20 hour sponsored Danceathon for our 20th Anniversary!

Little did we know that she was a famous Nepalese actress who has since returned to Nepal to star in one of the most popular films around!

On completing her placement, Miruna said: 

“Thank you for your support and encouragement. I had the best time ever and loved every bit of the challenge!”

Thank you, Miruna, you were an absolute star and we look forward to seeing you on the big screen soon!

Miruna also hopes to set up a charity similar to Kids for Kids to help the street children back home in Nepal.

Eleanor Clarke - Silver DofE Award

At the age of 16, Eleanor Clarke contacted us to see if she could help out as part of her volunteering commitment to a charity for her Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award – we were thrilled!

Eleanor dedicated 1 hour a week for 6 months and brilliantly juggled the tasks we set her alongside her GCSE school work.

She even managed a bit of time for baking and we are so grateful!

You can try making Eleanor’s bakes – Goats, Donkeys & Chickens, of course! – by downloading the recipe here.

Eleanor said, 

“I have really enjoyed learning more about Kids for Kids and getting creative. Hopefully you will have as much fun reading through as I did creating it.”

Thank you so much for all your hard work, Eleanor, we hope you will join us again soon!
