Volunteering opportunities
Volunteering is giving your time and skills to help others or an organisation with no financial gain. It is a great opportunity to gain valuable experience and to develop interpersonal and technical skills.
Volunteering while studying is also a great chance to make new friends, improve your English, gain experience relevant to your field of study and give back to your local community.
