Can Project V be improved?
'I loved it, lots of fun! I look forward to trying out new things with project V in the future.' (Amira, July 2010)
'It was very well organised. The staff were incredibly friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed my day.' (Elizabeth, July 2010)
'It worked perfectly for me, so I have no comments.' (Thomas, June 2010)
Project V has been a very useful resource provided at Sussex University and my voluntary work has lead to me finding part time paid work in my chosen field of study. I will be recommending your service to others in future. (James, May 2010)
'Volunteering has given me ideas of areas I might be interested in after my degree.' (Amanda)
'I really don't, because this placement was absolutely perfect and I wish it could continue. I now have the skills of working in a cinema/theatre environment so I can use this wen applying for jobs or placements in future! It was one of the best experiences in my life. Thank you for the opportunity' (Lucy, Cinecity Film Festival. December 2009)
'They were supporting me the whole way through. If I had any problems, I would know who to contact.' (Rafaella, Cinecity Film Festival, December 2009)
'Project V staff were accurate and helpful in explaining Project V when I signed up, and received fast and useful help from project V staff during my volunteering. The opportunity to work in a new area of the industry is useful for future employment, and I am considering for a job in the area of film festival or exhibition planning after graduation.' Emma, Cinecity Film Festival, December 2009.
"I had plenty of help from Project V when deciding on where to volunteer. (Volunteering is) one of the best things I have done since starting University, due to the continually great opportunities and times I have there" (Anna- care Co-ops Community Farm, December 2009).
"My school placements co-ordinated by Project V certainly, and without doubt, were instrumental and vital in me gaining the necessary experience to be accepted on the PGCE Primary course, specialising in English. Additionally, my volunteering in the final year (assisting with weekly TEFL course in Brighton)also co-ordinated by Project V, not only gave me additional teaching experience, but also enabled me to further my knowledge in the workings of the English language. This voluntary experience also have given me and additional reference (the class teacher) who I am grateful for in terms of being rewarded with the Volunteering England Gold Award and, through my work with her, and experience with Project V, will hopefully help me secure my first teaching post.' (Leigh- The Friends Centre, August 2009)
"Both the Project V staff (...) have been very helpful and supportive. (...) I must thank Project V for providing me, and many others like me, with different opportunities to become a valuable part of our community." (Natalie- South Downs Health NHS Trust, June 2009).
"I found volunteering (...) to be extremly adaptable to student life (...). I would thouroughly recommend volunteering to other students as it is such a fulfilling experience. Voluntary work looks great on the CV and from my point of view you gain so much in terms of knowledge, experience and friendships." (Samantha- Cherish, June 2009).
"I think my experience was wonderful and couldn't have improved in any way. (...) I feel that I'm able to manage my time better and am no longer scared of large groups of people or public speaking. (...) This is one of the best things I've ever done! So so enjoyable." (Linda Fabrica- Brighton Festival, May 2009)
"No, I think they were great and I've told them I'd like to be involved with other volunteering projects they do." (George-Fabrica, May 2009).
"Not at all, they were extremly helpful and I was aware I could go to them at any point for any help. Thank- You for advertising this in Library Square, I would never gotten involved otherwise but thouroughly enjoyed the experience and when I return from my year abroad I will look out to see what other volunteering opportunities you have available. Thanks!!" (Kate-Fabrica Brighton Festival, May 2009).
"My experience with Project V is fantastic, people are always helpful. They know what and when and how and no problem is left unsovled." (Thomas- NHS, May2009).
"I think Project V should be promoted more at University as I only found out about Project V in my third year and really could have done with doing volunteer placements in my 1st and 2nd. I think that Project V could advertise the different types of volunteer work available as I assumed it would only be charity based." (Helen- Fabrica, April 2009).
"No, I thought the help was adequate and the advice very appropriate. (Munayba- Playing for Success, April 2009).
"I'm very impressed with the idea of Project V, supporting people who want to volunteer. I especially liked also the atmopshere of the people from Project V and their support but also personal interest concerning right placement and personal development." (Patricia- Mouslecoomb Forest Garden and Wildlife Project, March 2009).
'No, it is a brilliant way of making contact with organisations and schemes in the area." (K. B.- Extratime, March 2009).
"I tried to get work experience with events companies through sending out speculative CVs, but was getting nowhere; CDEC suggested that working with Project V was a great way to get access to those placements. By choosing a placement in this very targeted way I was able to get the most out of my volunteering, develop the skills I needed, and also give more to the organisation, because I was genuinely enthused by the tasks I was carrying out. I strongly believe that my voluntary work helped me get my foot in the door of the event industry, and from here there's no stopping me." (A. S.- B&H Fareshare, June 2007).
