The City Volunteering Fair is an excellent opportunity for you to meet organisations and find out what opportunities they have to offer, how they help to make the world a better place, and how you can help them (and yourself).
It is the best time to meet with lots of different representatives from charities and non-profit organisations right here at the university. If you like what they have to say, you can register with them on the spot.
We will feature many of the best local and national organisations to volunteer with and you can speak to them face to face. Don't miss this opportunity!
