Volunteer Spotlight: Meet Tim
Tim joined the Conway Homework Club (CHC) in September 2025 and has quickly become a familiar, reassuring presence for the students who come through its doors. Every week, he sits down with children to work through their Maths and Science homework, not by giving them the answers, but by asking the right questions until the penny drops.
Emma’s Placement Story
As her final year university placement, Emma chose volunteering at Conway Education Centre’s Homework Club to help newcomer children, who experienced gaps in education, with their homework. She has been supporting the project since September 2025 and has gained valuable experience for her future career in education.
Now on the final year of her Liberal Arts with Irish degree at St Mary’s University College Belfast, Emma chose to complete her placement here, at Conway, because of her passion for education, community development and supporting young people.
By volunteering each week, Emma has seen first-hand how a supportive learning environment can help children grow academically and personally.
