Junction49 Future:
In 2008 – 2009 UWESU was extremely lucky to be awarded funds as part of the national Junction49 university volunteering project, run by the charity TimeBank. Unfortunately the funding for the Junction49 university project has now run out but help and support for student led projects is here to stay.
The Junction49 website is still around and may give you some ideas for projects: www.junction49.co.uk/uwe
To get involved:
Visit the Sports and Activities Centre and chat to your Volunteer Support Officer, Helen Seacombe;
email helenseacombe@uwe.ac.uk ; phone 0117 32 81665
I will look forward to meeting you!
