Celebrating U!
The Volunteer Awards are back again this year!
Every year we host the Volunteer Awards to celebrate U, our wonderful volunteers and everything that you do. This means if you help out in a society, volunteer with us, volunteer with the university, or volunteer literally anywhere else this night is specifically for you!
We'll be hosting the awards in the Student Union building. Soors are opening at 6pm with a drinks reception in Libertys Café, for the ceremony to begin at 7pm in Zeros.
After the ceremony, we will be meeting all our nominees and winners in Libs for some food, drinks and music so don't go anywhere!
And to answer the question on everyone's mind: yes, this is entirely, wholly, fully, completely free!
We'll be wearing our most dashing formal wear and you're welcome to do the same, but your comfort is most important so we won't be enforcing a dress code.
Super Important: Eventhough, you are not technically "buying" a ticket, capacity is limited so it's still essential you sign up by "buying" a free ticket below.
If you have any dietary or access requirements, could you please contact Jay.Brown@hw.ac.uk in advance.
If you've been nominated for an award; first of all, we received a colossal number of nominations, completely smashing the record from recent years, so this means you're in the top three or four out of a huge number of students, so congratulations!
Secondly, each nominee has one free slot reserved for you, so you won't need to book a ticket for yourself, but your friends, classmates, and society members can reserve their tickets here.
