Why volunteer in the Community?
The 'Feel good' Factor
Knowing that you've made a real difference, and actually having the chance to see it first hand.
Increase job prospects
Employers want to know what else you've done at University besides get a degree. Voluntary work always looks good on a CV.
Make new friends
This is a brilliant opportunity to meet like-minded people with similar interests.
Gain new skills
You will receive all the training that you need to take part in a project and you will acquire new skills that you will be able to put to good use in the future.
Accreditation
You will have the chance to gain some formal recognition of your work and the skills you have gained through the ALIVE Certificate.
New challenges
You can get involved in something that you've never done before, or something that requires hard work. Facing that challenge will give you a brilliant sense of achievement!
Fun!
It's a brilliant opportunity to have great fun! It's not just about volunteer work, but about having a good time and enjoying yourself.
