University students recruit new volunteers
The past couple of weeks have been a busy
time for student volunteers across Leicestershire
and Rutland, as they work hard to recruit new volunteers at their
Students Union Fresher's fair's.
New experiences
Going to university is all about new
experiences, and this doesn't stop with starting a new
degree.
Many students choose to join university
societies, including volunteering with
St John Ambulance, the UK's leading first aid charity
- meaning their university life can not only give them new
skills for life, but also the skills to save a
life.
The difference
Students in LINKS units (the student wing of St John
Ambulance) are taught the skills necessary to be the
difference between life and death, as they are taught how
to save a life. Then, like other adult volunteers,
LINKS volunteers can go on to provide their services at events
across the county.
Alternatively, some students choose to complement their
university degree with youth work in St John Ambulance - the UK's
third largest youth organisation. Teaching our young
people from the age of five to be the
difference between life and death.
More information
LINKS units can be found at all three of the counties
universites - Loughborough, De Montfort, and
the University of Leicester. Why not find us
on the students union notice boards?
