Student placement as 'visiting trustees'We want to place 20 students as 'visiting trustees' in local charity boards. The grant will go towards running a pilot programme between July 2016 and October 2017, providing 20 students with individual placements. The pilot will include student and host organisation recruitment, training for visiting trustees and ongoing support. Each Young Trustee will be required to complete a governance-based project that will have a lasting impact after they have left. The programme will end with a celebration event to promote the programme more widely, highlight individual student experiences on the scheme and bring student and community groups together.

Recipient Org: Description Oxford Hub is the centre for student social action in Oxford. Our aim is to support every student in Oxford to engage in social issues whilst university, empowering them to be active citizens for life. We achieve this by providing students with practical opportunities to tackle social and environmental issues and engage their peers in causes they care about. Last academic year we supported over 600 student volunteers on various student-led projects: for example, nearly 300 students tutored in local schools (with an average of 34% of pupils on FSM and 36% ESL pupils) to help local children and young people reach their academic potential; other volunteers ran free IT classes for older people to help promote connectivity and tackle loneliness; and some students ran free English Language lessons for recent migrants. In addition, we support students to incubate new volunteering project and social enterprise, such as board games to help encourage engagement in STEM subjects or a language exchange between students studying arabic and refugees. Lastly, to engage students in our activities and the issues they tackle, we held 112 events last academic year, ranging from volunteer fairs to workshops on tackling loneliness.
