Volunteering

Be part of something big. Give back to your local community. Make a difference to someone’s life. Overcome your fears. Boost your career.

Volunteering

Volunteering is about developing transferable skills and gaining practical experience.

Volunteering gives students opportunities to enhance their employability and their resilience for a changing world of work.  It prepares students for their own graduate careers or business endeavours.

The Volunteering team work with a range of charitable and not-for-profit organisations, who host students for volunteering. This is a great way to build experience and find out about other sectors.
