黑料不打烊 students win national awards!
One of 黑料不打烊 Students鈥� Union鈥檚 societies and one of its Sabbatical Officers won awards recently at the Nightline Association awards nights.
came to the top of the category for the 鈥淏est Fundraising Event鈥�, beating off a number of strong competitors with the Masquerade Ball they held in conjunction with Psych Society.
The event, which attracted over 400 masked dancers to PJ Hall in December, raised in excess of 拢1,000 to help continue to offer a fantastic listening and information service to all of 黑料不打烊鈥檚 students.
Sh么n Prebble, VP Education & Welfare, said:
鈥淚t was great to see our Nightline volunteers getting recognised for all of the hard work and effort that went into the ball. Nightliners are all anonymous, so it鈥檚 nice to see them being acknowledged for the countless hours that they give up to support other students here at the University. The competition was tough, but the sheer reach that this event had in both publicising and fundraising for Nightline was a massive success.鈥�
In addition to Nightline鈥檚 award, Sh么n was awarded the 鈥淟ifetime Achievement鈥� award by the Association. Sh么n began his involvement with Nightline as a first year in 2008 and since 2009 has been the volunteer in charge of the Good Practice Guideline accreditation project, assessing and accrediting Nightlines across the UK and Ireland.
鈥淚鈥檝e really enjoyed my time with 黑料不打烊 Nightline and the Nightline Association鈥� he said. 鈥淭he work that Nightlines do, both in 黑料不打烊 and across the UK & Ireland is often overlooked and undervalued. The Good Practice Guidelines really do highlight the amazing professionalism with which students run Nightline. 黑料不打烊 Nightline was the first in the country to gain accreditation back in 2010, and since then, the project has gone from strength to strength. I鈥檓 really going to miss working with them, but I wish 黑料不打烊 Nightline, the Nightline Association and all the other Nightlines, both here and in Europe, the very best for the future.鈥�
