1. We can say it with stats...
- From 2011-2014 we had an 810% increase in the amount of awards we gave out...so if our volunteer awards were a drink from Blend and in 2011 we had 1, we've now had so much coffee we haven't slept in 2015.
- In 2013 - 14 our super ace volunteers recorded 11,455 hours of volunteering...in the same amount of time you could watch the 5 seasons of breaking bad around 238 times.
- The same super-ace volunteers have put in so much time, that we had to add whole new volunteering awards...TWICE!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...
- We become the first Students Union based volunteer center branch in the country, which has given our students access to hundreds of new and exciting opportunities
- 2 years ago our students created a walking home service called 'Street Team' to keep our students safe whilst walking home from the SU (or late night library studying) - its still running today and they're amazing.
- We received a donation from Malcolm Clarke (super, ex president, alumni) to give out monthly funding to local community to projects students can get involved in!
Happy 2015...here's to the beginning of KeeleSU Volunteering on BuzzFeed
