How to record your hours?
This year you will need to fill out your passport each time you volunteer, you will also need to get the project leader/ supervisor to sign it off.
At the end of your volunteering you hand the passport back to us, we will then check that it is valid and add up your hour
vTeam certificate
Once we have totalled your hours we will prepare a certificate for you which will be held at the SU Reception for the summer and the first month of the Term 1.
If you are in your final year, please provide us with an address to post your certificate to you once it is ready. Unclaimed certificates will be shredded after 1 year, and cannot be reclaimed.
