Celebrating
student volunteering
in York
At the Higher York Awards
for Student Volunteering,
held at York’s Mansion
House, students from
across the city were
recognised for their
hard work in support
of local good causes.
Among the nominees was
York College student,
David Moorcroft, who
has dedicated over 1,100
hours of his time to
a range of volunteering
activities, including
holding the role of Scout
Leader in his local Beaver
and Scout club for the
last three years.
Awards were presented
to students from Askham
Bryan College, the University
of York, York College
and York St John University.
Every year, more than
1,500 students across
the four institutions
give up their time to
raise funds, offer their
skills or simply provide
a much-needed extra pair
of hands for local groups.
Jessica Grant, Director
of Higher York, said:
“This awards ceremony
is an excellent way of
recognising the positive
and valuable contribution
students make to the
community of York.”
