Community Gold badge

This Community Badge recognises that the holder has invested effort in developing their ability to support others and connect with their local communities. Skills and competencies that they have explored and learnt will have been developed through varied approaches to community engagement such as: volunteering, working with the Students Union, advocacy and campaigning work, service learning across the uni and within their communities, peer to peer support, and help and support for others.

You can view all opportunities which support this badge below. If you’re stuck for where to start, we recommend Volunteering and Community Engagement and How to be a Community Advocate. If you complete both of these self study packs, you will earn your bronze Digital badge!
