Well, what better way to start the year with Hallam Volunteering than at The Welcome Party! The party was a great success with over 100 volunteers attending and a warm welcome given to the new Committee members. The Committee performed a well rehearsed dance routine to ‘High School Musical’s 'We’re all in this together' which succeeded in lightening the mood.
Liz Credgington - Socials and Communications Officer and organiser of the party said: “It was more successful than last year because there was more interaction between the volunteers.” This was definitely due to the fun game of human bingo encouraging people to mingle with people from other projects.
The new Fundraising Officer Emma James was in her first day of post, and her Fundraising Team were very successful in raising £109 from the raffle for the Small Grants Fund and managed to get lots of local businesses to donate prizes. This was a great start to the year!
The Welcome Party didn’t stop there either! Around 25 volunteers then went down to Bar Phoenix to continue the party!
The photos from the night should be uploaded on to the Facebook group 'Hallam Volunteering 09/10' shortly.
