Volunteer your time
Volunteering is a great way to boost your CV, develop skills, gain experience, make contacts and give something back. Don't forget that most voluntary work counts towards the Exeter Award.

Stay with a British family

Explore what's on offer from the Multifaith Chaplaincy
Students in Cornwall
The Cornwall Multifaith Chaplaincy is a warm and friendly space that is here for everyone, whether you have a faith or not.
Students in Exeter
Many events at the Multifaith Chaplaincy take place throughout the year, including the Connections Café.
Connections Café
The café is hosted twice a week during term time by members of the Multifaith Chaplaincy team. It's open to all of our students and staff, and provides a chance to chat with friends and meet new people in a relaxed space. Some of the Chaplains will also be there if there's anything you would like to talk to someone about.
You can drop in at any time, for as little or long as you like. Free hot drinks, sweet snacks and treats are provided, and there are often craft or mindfulness activities to take part in if you wish.
The café is free, and everyone from the University, of any faith or world view, is warmly invited and very welcome.
