"I thought it was one of the most accessible ways to engage in outreach and everyone should give it a go. It's flexible, enjoyable, and rewarding. It also makes you think about your work from a completely new perspective."
Luke Townsend, Participant
"Compared to my previous experience with outreach projects as part of a fair, it felt like I had much more 1-on-1 time with each student asking the questions, without feeling the pressure of having to keep them interested."
Ross Low, Participant
"It was easy to fit around work and reached a large number of students. Plus there was less planning than if, say, I'm running an activity with a school. Just turn up and chat - large impact, small effort."
Polly, Participant
"It’s like bite-sized volunteering which I can really tailor to when I have time to engage."
