How did you first get involved?

I got involved as a Nightline Volunteer in 2015 by applying online after hearing about being a Nightline Volunteer through a lecturer. I also became the Publicity Officer and joined the Nightline Committee.

Why did you decide to get involved?

I started as direct entry student into 3rd year and felt volunteering would allow me to get involved and meet new people. Nightline was the perfect role as it allowed me to meet others in addition to allowing me to participate in a role that let me help others which fit with my course.

What difference has it made to your university experience being involved?

It has allowed me to get involved with the Students' Association and therefore keep updated with business in the university. Further it helped me to gain confidence in meeting others and developing strong friendship groups.

What difference has your involvement made to others?

As a Nightline Volunteer I was able to support students through any difficult times at University. As Publicity Officer, I have helped to inform students of the Nightline service available for them which is beneficial for any student who may wish to use the service for information or listening purposes.
