Manor House School participated in the Volunteering for All Award from March 2020. Despite lockdown students in Manor House and the Volunteering for All Committee
completed all tasks and were successful in achieving the award.
When completing tasks to achieve the award we were overwhelmed with the amount of volunteering our students are involved in. We are so proud of our Volunteering for All Committee and all the students and staff in our school who give so generously of their time and skills to help others.
The Volunteering For All Award is an award for schools that recognises and affirms volunteering and charitable work undertaken by young people from all backgrounds and circumstances.This nationwide programme is supported by the Department of Justice and Equality and The Department of Children and Youth Affairs. The Volunteering For All Award programme is about recognising and affirming all the volunteer and charitable work that is currently being undertaken by students and staff in their school and communities.
This award is a demonstration of the spirit of volunteerism, it is not a measure of the quantity of volunteering taking place. It is about celebrating difference and demonstrating that each of us has a positive contribution to make to the place in which we live.
Many thanks to Sean McEwen from Localise who facilitated our work in achieving this award.
