Getting involved with the wider University community
Volunteering and Duke of Edinburgh
Through the ENSA Volunteer Base, V Base, you may be able to gain
non-academic credit and a supported personal development pathway for
any non-paid, extra-curricular activity you undertake while at the University.
Volunteering is a vital form of support for many local charities, and ENSA
can connect you with the opportunities in your area. ENSA Volunteering
runs a vbase website that provides access to hundreds of opportunities
from our local charity partners. The Duke of Edinburgh Award is open to
anyone (with exception of global online students and students studying
at a campus overseas) up to the age of 24 and ENSA is here to help you
achieve your Award, whether you are very new to it or have already started
somewhere else.
Getting involved
You will be offered opportunities to feedback your views to your student
representatives, the Programme Teams and the University generally in a
variety of ways including: questionnaires, surveys, focus groups, meetings
with your Personal Development Tutor, representative forums and many
more. More information is available on myNapier. Your programme will also
have a Student Staff Liaison Committee.
