UCLU Volunteering News: February 17th – February 22nd
Good Morning UCL Volunteers!
I hope those of you on Reading Week are enjoying the time off – why not spend a few minutes having a browse through this week’s bulletin? If you scroll down through the text you’ll find a myriad of new volunteering opportunities. Organisations across the city have been in touch this week to offer UCL volunteers valuable placements. These range from a full-time archivist internship, to gallery assistants at a small National Trust property in Hackney.
On top of all our volunteering roles, do have a look at our one-off opportunities. One-Off volunteering is a great way to get involved if you don't have a lot of time to spare, or if you want to try out different activities before making a longer term commitment.
To find out more about these roles or any of the others, just send me an email to kick-start your volunteering involvement in the capital this term.
Kind Regards,
Oliver Peachey

UCLU Volunteering News: February 3rd – February 8th
Hello Volunteers!
I can’t quite believe it’s February already – soon spring will be upon us, so what better way to brighten yourself up than to get involved in some volunteering!? Yet again, I’ve been contacted by a number of our partner organisations over the past week requesting adverts to be put in the newsletter. Numerous programmes and roles from across the city pack out this week’s edition.
To find out more about the roles on offer have a read through, see if anything in particular catches your eye and just get in touch.
I hope you all have a great week.
Kind Regards,
