THA Volunteering Awards

The THA Volunteering Awards support Trinity Hall students taking part in projects of a humanitarian or community-enhancing nature over the Long Vacation.

Since 2009, the THA has supported more than 30 students volunteering for projects both in the UK and overseas. The students have volunteered for educational, housing, environmental and social projects across the globe. Projects can take place in the UK or overseas and previous examples have generally lasted four weeks or more. Volunteering Awards range from £500-£1,000, while outstanding applications may attract more support.

There have been 4 winners for this year:

Chenyi Zhang – China
Swetha Kannan – Uganda
Charlie Boul – Guatemala
Camila Vergara – Mexico

How to apply

All undergraduate and postgraduate Trinity Hall students are invited to apply to the THA Volunteering Awards. Awards are annual and applications can be submitted during Lent term.
