There are so many ways to lend a helping hand, by sharing your time, expertise and connections. Alumni volunteers play a vital role in enabling us to provide our pupils with the best learning environment and opportunities. Will you join us to help demonstrate the living proof of our mantra?
Your impact as a volunteer could take many forms and would naturally be guided by your interests and areas of expertise.
Ways you could support our students through volunteer could include:
Telling your story to inspire and encourage pupils, addressing an assembly, support our extra-curricular activities clubs
Contributing to our Alumni Newsletter
Taking part in fundraising
Arranging for your business to offer work experience or internship to students
Mentoring individual or small groups of students
Spreading the word
When you choose to donate to Platanos Alumni you really do make a difference. You help pupils fulfil their potential, whatever life throws at them. Young people from Stockwell well be tackling pressing global problems in just a few years themselves, using their skills as leaders and team members.
As alumni, you have first-hand knowledge that the skills and experiences acquired through our extra-curricular activities stay with you forever. With your help, students can take part in clubs and activities that they would otherwise be unable to enjoy. Donations start from as little as £1 per month, and you will receive regular updates about how your investment is being spent on our young people. £5 per month could support our scholarship foundation, or you could consider a ‘one off’ contribution.
