Volunteering

Be part of something bigger than yourself. Give back to your local community. Make a difference to someone’s life. Overcome your fears. Boost your career. Protect the environment. Gain new skills. Build your confidence. Experience London.

We connect UCL students with rewarding community volunteering opportunities across London.

We've been finding ways for UCL students to make a difference since 2002, and last year, over 2,000 students volunteered with the projects we promote, giving over 62,000 hours of their time.
