Book tickets

As part of our Community Fair this year, we're organising a Big Help Out event to get students involved in volunteering for the local community. Have a look below to check out the different activities you could get involved in!

Cooking for a Cause with ZAD Cafe

Come together with fellow students to cook a delicious community meal for the residents of the nearby estate. It’s a fantastic way to meet new people, share culinary skills, and make a meaningful impact right from the start of your university journey.

This event is about connecting with the local community, giving back, and fostering a sense of togetherness. By volunteering your time and energy, you’ll not only create a nourishing meal but also build bridges between students and residents, making the neighbourhood a warmer, more connected place for everyone.

Kentish Town Community Centre 

Roll up your sleeves and join us for a day of hands-on volunteering at the Kentish Town Community Centre! We’ll be sorting through items, tidying up spaces, and giving the centre a fresh start as we prepare for the year ahead.

By volunteering, you'll not only help create a welcoming environment for everyone who uses the centre but also connect with fellow students and locals who share your passion for community service. It’s a fun, fulfilling way to get involved and make a real difference—plus, you’ll leave knowing you’ve helped set the stage for a great year ahead at the centre!

GreenWalkers

As part of our commitment to creating a cleaner and greener campus, we’re excited to invite you to our GreenWalkers Litter-Picking Event. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet new people, make a positive impact, and have fun while keeping our community beautiful!

Our Litter-Picking Event is all about fostering community spirit and environmental responsibility. This event aims to raise awareness about the importance of maintaining a clean environment and to encourage sustainable practices amongst our UCL community. Together, we can make a tangible difference!

What can I expect from these events?

  • Meet Like-Minded People: Connect with fellow members of our UCL community who care about social action and are eager to make a positive impact.
  • Get Active: Enjoy getting out and about, and take the time to explore what's available just outside UCL's doorstep. 
  • Feel-Good Vibes: Experience the satisfaction of giving back to your community and knowing you’re playing a part in making a difference. 

After you've finished volunteering, you'll make your way back to main campus for 1.30pm with your group, so you can catch the Community Fair, grab some lunch at one of our socially-conscious food vans, and be part of our Community Ceilidh!

As a thank you from your Volunteering Service Team, you'll also receive a £10 Love2Shop Voucher when you meet us back at the Main Quad. 

How to Get Involved

Just show up at the UCL Main Quad at 10am with a smile and a willingness to help. We’ll provide any necessary equipment. Don’t forget to wear comfortable clothing and shoes suitable for walking.

Come along, bring your friends, and let’s make this Big Help Out one to remember! 

See you there!
