About the event

Our Volunteering Fair returns to campus on Tuesday 13 October, bringing together third sector organisations, charities, and social enterprises in The Hub. In the past, more than 100 students have registered to volunteer with participating groups, gaining valuable work experience, discovering more about the local community, and building new connections.

The Fair runs from 11am to 2pm, offering flexibility to drop in at any time. Upon arrival, students can register and collect a Volunteering Card from staff members—look for the team in pink t-shirts. From there, students are encouraged to explore the Fair, engage in conversations with charity representatives, and find roles that align with their own interests or career aspirations.

Volunteering presents the opportunity to gain hands-on experience, strengthen communication and leadership skills, and improve your employability. It also demonstrates your confidence, helps students integrate into the local community, and brings variety and enjoyment to university life. We have a range of Organisations joining us this year who will be offering different role you can get involved with to give some experience during your time at University.

Whether interested in immediate involvement or just exploring your possibilities, the Volunteering Fair is a welcoming space to ask questions, discover causes, and get started on your volunteering journey.
