From time to time organisations/charities contact us with opportunities for volunteering. On this page you will find opportunities which we think might appeal to you as ideal for a team building Community Challenge. Please note that none of these opportunities have been vetted or approved by the University.

Have a look, see what you’re interested in to give you ideas. You may wish to discuss with us in Staff Learning and Development.
