Museum of Brands
Just around the corner from the world-famous Portobello Road Market stands a treasure trove of retro design and memories. The objectives of the charity are to educate the public on design and in particular to the subjects of advertising and packaging and their history by establishing and maintaining a museum to be open to the public for displaying exhibitions.

Training
We have an induction process, during which we give Volunteers the information we believe they need to enjoy their time with us. Training is mainly 'on the job', supported by the Learning Officer. Volunteers are given regular feedback and we remain open to suggestions on how we can improve the volunteer experience.

You’ll never be out of pocket for volunteering through us – with in-London travel expenses to and from your volunteering guaranteed.

In addition, the team here at Students’ Union UCL Volunteering Service is here to support you throughout your volunteering journey – you can get in touch with us at any time.
