Societies and Volunteering Awards 2024
We kicked the night off with an amazing drinks reception at one of Baltic Triangle's most loved venues, Camp and Furnace. We loved watching you all take to your seats, enjoy the band 'The Gondolas', grab some delicious food from Burnt Orange and of course, grab a fresh doughnut from our doughnut wall. Students danced, sang and took many a photo - either at one of the photoboard backdrops or in the JMSU branded photobooth! We hope this was a night to remember - it sure will be for us! Now, onto the awards themselves...
We can proudly say we have over 110 volunteering organisations registered through JMSU portal, over 250 people attended our volunteering fair back in February to leanr more about what's on offer, we now have over 280 registered volunteers and over 6500 staggering amounts of hours volunteered by students.
