Your guide to COVID-19 Volunteering
Here at Students' Union UCL Volunteering Service, lots of UCL students and staff have been asking us about volunteering they can do during this current situation.However, with social distancing measures likely to be in place for a while, many of our community partners aren't able to run their regular volunteering programmes at the moment.
Where Snore Happens
Just before the current situation began, we were in the final stages of introducing a napping facility on campus. However, this was more than just a place on campus to get a few precious minutes of rest. This was part of a five-pronged strategy to improve the sleep hygiene of the UCL student body.

“I wanted to spread the spirit within the club out into the wider community”
Odile Lehnen is a second-year Science and Society student, and the Project Leader for Kickstart, a UCL Taekwondo-affiliated volunteering project. She came into the office to talk to us about why she started the project, the impact they’ve had, and what she got out of it.
