We have such a fantastic range of students and staff getting involved in everything we do and working hard to support their teams and make life better for students at Bucks. Sometimes, these people go unnoticed and we just don't think that's fair.
So, each month we will be celebrating our members and their achievements, and need your help. You can nominate the following for an award:
- Committee Member
- Community Volunteer
- Best Performance
- Innovative Idea
- Student Rep
- Staff Member
We'll showcase what they do, who they are and write all about them on our website, social media channels, and student newspaper.
If you know someone who deserves to be on next month's Celebration Station, nominate them below.
