Since the beginning of term, from Monday 14th September until Sunday 11th October, Winchester Hub has ran a Social Media Takeover (SMT) for each of the programmes we run to introduce you to our team! In this blog we will have an overview of each SMT per programme which ran across all of our platforms from Facebook, to Twitter to Instagram!

Meet our Social Innovation Programme coordinator, Michael! From today through to Saturday stay tuned for all the SIP content! Below, Michael tells us why he took on the role... 'Hi I'm Michael. I'm the SIP coordinator this year! I'm also a second year psychology student. I completed the SIP programme last year and had an amazing experience, learning new skills and meeting people I would not have met if it was not for the programme. I'd love if other people could have the same opportunity and experience I had. Things are a bit different as it's all online but it can still be just as good, if not better. It's great for your CV and the local community!' [Image description: a digital graphic with a photo of Michael, our SIP coordinator, beneath a text box containing his quote. In the bottom left hand corner is the SIP logo, and to the right is the Winchester Hub logo and 'Michael' in capitals.] #HelloWinch #SIP #CommunityPartners #SocialInnovation #WinchesterHub #Freshers

Why you should become a volunteer for SIP...

SCHOOLS PLUS

The Schools Plus Takeover ran from Sunday 20th September to Tuesday 22nd September 2020! Their takeover was massive and took place on all three platforms!!

On Instagram they advertised for volunteers to join Schools Plus and sign up as applications had just opened! They all so introduced themselves, so you could meet the Schools Plus team!!

The Schools Plus Program is going to look a little bit different this semester, whilst our volunteers will not be able to go into schools, there are still some great opportunities to get involved with! Firstly, we will be offering 1-1 online tutoring sessions, whereby volunteers will be matched with a student who will need help with a specific subject or topic. Volunteers will then be responsible for assisting the students with these topics and answering any questions they may have! But do not worry the Schools Plus Coordinators will always be on hand to help with this! Tutoring will take place online via zoom and is a flexible volunteering option as our volunteers can decide which day they wish to tutor! So, what are you waiting for? Sign up today!

Reasons for joining Give It A Go:

COMMUNITY PARTNERS

The Social Media Takeover dedicated days from Friday 2nd - Saturday 3rd October 2020 to highlight our Community Partners!

Harestock Primary School

Wickham Community Centre

View this post on Instagram

Today we want to highlight our wonderful Community Partner: Wickham Community Centre! ๐Ÿงก Our student consultants volunteering on the Social Innovation Programme last year provided some useful recommendations for Wickham Community Centre, and it's great to hear the response. "I've been finding the interactions with the students challenging - in a good way. They ask questions that really need me to think about some of the things we have been doing for a long time, and need to justify why we continue to do them.. With their 'outsider' view, it's incredibly useful to get that perspective." Know a local business, organisation or charity who might like to partner with us? Email [email protected] to let us know! Want to sign up to be a student consultant? Apply for our SIP programme by clicking the link in our bio!

It's surrounded by speech bubbles, an illustration of people, and the Hub and SIP logos] #HelloWinch #StudentVolunteering #SocialAction #WinchesterHub

General Johnson Court

Today we're highlighting our Community Partner: General Johnson Court! ๐Ÿงก They've been a real treasure supporting our LinkAges project, and some wonderful relationships have formed as a result. "The support and friendship the girls have given to the Residents at General Johnson Court has been a pleasure to observe. I have been the Manager there for many years so I know the Residents well. The Residents have loved the companionship with the girls." Know a local business or charity who would like to partner with us? Email [email protected] to let us know! [Image description: a graphic design featuring the quote from General Johnson Court in a circle in the centre. In the background are photographs from LinkAges events and below are three house illustrations with hearts in their centres] #HelloWinch #SocialAction #StudentVolunteering #WinchesterHub
