Alumni Volunteer of the Year Award

Alumni volunteering is so valuable at Christ Church that we feel it should be celebrated as much as possible. The Alumni Volunteer of the Year Award recognises the achievements of particularly committed alumni.

Each year, staff of the University are asked to nominate former students who they feel have been outstanding in their voluntary support of the University.

A maximum of three finalists are chosen from amongst the nominations, then all Christ Church alumni are asked to vote for who they think should win. The Award, which comprises a certificate and a prize of £300, is presented at an annual Alumni Volunteer Gala Dinner held in June.
