Students' Union Volunteering Service

Do you want to increase your chances of getting your dream job when you leave University? How about bulking up your CV with extra skills and experience? Volunteering can do all this and more!

The Cambridge and Chelmsford campuses have volunteering coordinators that are here to assist you in gaining a suitable volunteering position and to provide you with support at every step of the way. We have connections with more than 100 organisations and are constantly adding new opportunities.

At the end of each academic year, we can accredit your volunteering efforts so you get recognition for your hard work!

Drop in or email us to make an appointment.
