On Thursday 19 November 2015 we will be having a drop in session in the Junior Common Room between 12:00-14:00. Please come and have a chat and find out a little more about how you can get involved and do some good this Winter. We will be offering students a chance to sign up to different opporuntinities as well as giving more information and asking for ideas of what types of volunteering you will want to do in the future.
These are some of the opportunities we are looking to encourage volunteers to participate in , however if you want more information please drop into the Student Union or the JCR on Thursday.
