Hi

This week, we’ve got training in running school sports activity sessions, a tree planting event, a film festival organised by the students on our Refugee Project, and a poster competition .. plus a couple of opportunities from Toynbee Hall, a community centre in East London. We also see the launch of two new student run projects - the Deaf Awareness Project, and the UCL Union Conservation Group.

Remember, if you don’t see anything that takes your fancy in this week’s newsletter, you can always come and talk to one of our advisors about volunteering, email volunteering@ucl.ac.uk to make an appointment.

Also, Volunteering Society meet every Wednesday lunchtime 1 – 2 pm in the CSC Meeting room on the second floor of the Bloomsbury, so if you’d like to meet other student volunteers, come along. Next week, there will be a talk on volunteering in Africa.

All the best
