Communicating research and impact for VSO
I turned research on youth volunteering and mental health into an engaging report, and wrote and edited position papers, reports and case studies.

I have supported VSO on a number of initiatives, including writing a succinct position paper on young people targeted at a donor audience; editing the International Citizen Service (ICS) annual report (2016–2017); and reviewing and strengthening a series of ICS case studies demonstrating project impact.
VSO’s International Citizen Service (ICS) programme brought together young people from the UK and low-income countries to volunteer in some of the poorest communities in Africa and Asia. In 2018, I communicated research findings into an important and yet neglected subject: young people and mental health, specifically the relationship between youth volunteering overseas and mental health. I condensed a lengthy report into an engaging report that reflected the voices and experiences of young people in all their diversity.
