Ro Allen

Second Year Advertising and Marketing Communications

“I’ve never had the opportunity or confidence to get involved in volunteering before. Now I have I’ve learnt how it benefits everyone involved. Not only are you able to make other people happy but it makes you feel good about yourself too.

Silent Dancing for RAG was my favourite event. It was a big personal step for me and although we might have looked silly, we raised a massive amount for charity.

Through volunteering I’ve become more confident and have developed my communication skills which will help me in the future.

I’d recommend volunteering because you get a chance to try lots of new activities and to push your own personal boundaries whilst learning new skills and making a difference.

The best thing about volunteering is: great challenges with great people for a great cause."
