There’s more to University than just lectures, libraries and sit-down learning. Go Volunteer aims to make sure you get the most out of your time at University through our volunteering opportunities, allowing you to develop the skills future employers look for, supplement your degree, help the local community and make new friends. 

We offer a range of opportunities including student led projects, such as growing fresh produce at Cockle Park Farm, learning beer science with our Microbrewery, assisting refugees develop their English language skills and helping disadvantaged communities. With over 150 projects for you to get involved in varying from one-off projects to long-term opportunities, you really can tailor your experience to fit around your University life.
