The theme - 'Powered by Purpose' recognises the values and motivations that drive young people to take action in their communities.

Student volunteering is more than giving back. It’s about building connection, confidence, and a sense of purpose. Through volunteering, young people develop leadership and empathy, strengthen community ties, and grow into changemakers for the future.

This week, we're thrilled to put a spotlight on our fantastic partnership with John Pirie Secondary School. Reflecting on the importance of student volunteers, we're reminded of the incredible dedication and enthusiasm shown by the students of John Pirie Secondary School. Their commitment to making a difference is truly inspiring
