Volunteering Awards
Volunteering Awards
The Durham University Volunteering Awards is a yearly event where we celebrate together the fantastic efforts of our volunteers whilst thanking our wonderful community partners for their continued support. We are big believers in recognising the efforts of others, whether it is giving up time to do something meaningful for the community or in the way that our community partners open their doors and welcome us in. Benefits to volunteering in the community can be seen on so many levels, whether that be the sense of greater wellbeing and skill development for the volunteers or the camaraderie and friendships that develop between the University and community and we are excited to spend the evening with you all celebrating this.
Volunteering Awards 2025
On June 12th, we were delighted to host our Volunteering Awards celebration at Trevelyan College– a wonderful afternoon tea event filled with appreciation, good company, and plenty of cream cakes.
The event brought together volunteers from across the University community to acknowledge the invaluable contribution they make across County Durham. While no one volunteers for recognition, we believe it’s important to take the time to pause and celebrate the difference these individuals make – often quietly, behind the scenes, and with remarkable dedication.
We’d like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who attended, supported, or helped make the event possible – and most of all, to the volunteers and winners we were there to celebrate, your efforts do not go unnoticed.
