Volunteer of the Year Awards 2022: entries close soon

28 Feb 2022

There's still time to submit entries

Nominate your star volunteers before Sunday, 6 March (midnight).

Don’t miss the chance to nominate someone for our annual Volunteer of the Year Awards - an event which celebrates the actions of our staff, students and alumni.

Celebrating the very best of volunteering, the awards give the University and our community partners the opportunity to recognise those who epitomise what it means to make a difference. There are three individual categories: staff, student, and alumni; and one group category for students.

Very often, the nominees have been put forward by someone who knows them at the University, as these people are often in a great position to explain the difference these individuals have made to their communities.

Last year’s winners set up projects including Manchester National Health Supporters, which supported NHS workers at the height of the pandemic, the Intergen Buddy Scheme, which tackles social isolation, the Women in Academia Support Network, and Chifundo UK and Chanasa Malawi, which empowers girls and women through education and income-generation projects.

Be inspired by the stories of our past winners and place your nomination now.
