Whether you’re looking to boost your CV, meet new people, or just want a reason to get out of the house, volunteering is a great place to start and at KCLSU we’ve got a team dedicated to helping you get stuck in!
From setting up your own project to joining an existing one or fundraising for a cause you care about, we’re here to make it all doable and fun. There’s no single way to volunteer and we want to help you find what fits you best. Amy (Volunteering and Fundraising Coordinator) and Fahima (Volunteering and Widening Participation Coordinator) are your go-to people for anything and everything volunteering-related. We're really excited to meet you this year!
Want to start your own volunteer project?
Got a big idea or even just the start of one? Whether you’re passionate about tackling homelessness, supporting underrepresented young people, raising awareness about a cause you care about - or something completely different – we’re on hand to help you turn that idea into a full-blown project.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. We’ll support you with:
- Training and guidance
- DBS checks
- Help recruiting volunteers
- Ongoing support and advice
Learn more about how to start your project here.
Join our upcoming Volunteer Fair on Wednesday 12 November, 11am-3pm if you already have a project set-up and would like to recruit volunteers. Sign up here.
Prefer to join an existing project?
If you’d rather jump into something that’s already up and running, we’ve got plenty of opportunities for you to get involved in. Just email us at volunteering@kclsu.org and tell us what causes you're interested in and we’ll connect you with the right project.
Make sure you don’t miss out on our Volunteer Fair on Wednesday 12 November, 11am–3pm. It’s the perfect chance to meet project leaders, ask questions, and find something that sparks your interest. Sign up here.
Interested in fundraising?
Whether you’re raising money for your own volunteer project or for a charity close to your heart, we’re here to help you make it happen. From bake sales to quiz nights to 24-hour challenges, no idea is too big - or too small.
We’ve got the tools and experience to help you plan your fundraiser from start to finish. Learn more about how we can support your fundraising journey here.
At KCLSU, we believe volunteering can be life-changing, for you and the people you support. Amy and Fahima are here to support you in your volunteer journey each step of the way!
Just reach out to us at volunteering@kclsu.org or book a drop-in appointment with us to chat.
