Why Volunteer?

Looking for more experience in the field you study in or would like to work in?

Volunteering can offer this and much more and we’re here to ensure you reap the benefits!

Join our incredible team of student volunteers to support projects in areas that you’re passionate about, enhance your skill set and confidence, meet new people and give back.

 

Here are just some of the reasons our brilliant volunteers do what they do:

“Volunteering has been one of the main ways I've gotten out and about at uni, it's helped me make friends helped me leave the flat and get out in nature and it’s made me feel good about myself! I suffer from severe mental health issues and volunteering has helped me create such a strong support network and feel a sense of purpose.”

"Volunteering is a super fun experience: you get to dance on freezing beaches with friends, plant flowers that may or may not grow next spring and celebrate super spicy achievements with some of the most ridiculous, silly and fun people you'll ever meet."

“Volunteering allows me to give back to the community by devoting my time and efforts into planning events and activities that can benefit students and the wider community. Volunteering gives me a sense of satisfaction and enjoyment for doing something good that others can benefit from. In my years of volunteering, I have been able to develop my teamwork skills through interactions and engagement through team leadership and planning to boost my confidence and ability to present my ideas. I have made many great memories and friendships through volunteering in addition to the experiences and places that I've been to that wouldn't have been possible without volunteering.”

"Hearing feedback from the people our volunteering projects help, is always rewarding. It's nice when your work is appreciated and made a difference to someone. But I also think it's important to acknowledge that person could be yourself. You get out of volunteering as much as you put in. You can travel, make friends, network, get creative, be inspired and inspiring, learn, adapt and evolve as an individual."
