"People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care."

Someone shared this with me a few years ago, and it has stayed with me ever since. This truth drives my passion to stand for the Volunteering Officer role at UCL Voices for Children. 

Having been part of the committee last year, I’ve already seen the passion, dedication and potential within our society. That experience gave me insight into how we operate, what works well, and where we can grow — and it’s exactly why I feel ready to take on this role with both continuity and fresh energy.

To me, volunteering is about heart, connection and making a tangible impact together. I want to be the spark that lights up our community with passion, purpose and belonging, by building a network bursting with energy, where every volunteer feels valued, inspired and ready to make a real difference.

With my experience leading member engagement and organising events over the last few years, I'm eager to strengthen our existing partnerships, reach out to new organisations, and create unforgettable opportunities for our volunteers. But this role is more than just managing. It is about inspiring a movement of passionate individuals united to create change for children worldwide. 

If you believe, like I do, that genuine care transforms volunteering from a task into a powerful force for good, then let's build that force together at UCL.
