SheffieldVolunteering

Want to get more out of your degree? Looking for something fresh to do with your time? SheffieldVolunteering has over 200 options - with lots in student neighbourhoods and the city centre. From one-off taster events to regular weekly volunteering across the city, it's up to you how involved you want to be. You can access free training, develop new skills or we can even help you set up your own project - all of which can open doors to jobs in the future. Plus you'll meet amazing new friends, do cool stuff for free (like taking kids quad biking or learning how to dry stone wall) and get to explore Sheffield. Oh, and of course, you'll get plenty of that 'warm and fuzzy' feeling too!
