Staff volunteers making a difference

As part of the So Much More campaign, we celebrate our Staff Volunteering and Outreach. DURHAM University is inviting more charities and good causes to benefit from its staff volunteering programme. The University operates one of the country's leading Employer Supported Volunteer (ESV) programmes, which offers staff the opportunity to volunteer, in work time, for up to five days per year. More than 850 staff have volunteered since the programme was launched in 2010, giving more than 3,000 hours of practical help each year. Volunteering ranges from individual placements that make use of a staff member's professional expertise to team challenges for whole departments. More than 100 charities have already benefitted from the scheme, but the University's Staff Volunteering and Outreach (SVO) team is always keen to hear from more good causes that would like to be involved. Positive contribution Dr Andy Cattermole, Head of SVO, said: "Durham University is proud of the positive contribution we make to the communities we are part of, and staff volunteering is a key part of that.
