Volunteering

If you want to make a difference, one of our volunteering programmes is the place to start. With a simple application process and basic training programme, it's easy to get involved. Each of our programmes only requires 1-2 hours commitment per week too - designed to fit around a busy schedule!
- Support young people to achieve their academic potential by volunteering as an academic tutor in a local school, or with local families. Find out more about Schools Plus.

Skilled Placements

Skilled placements are a great opportunity to gain professional skills, work closely with a local charity and have a big impact! These are ambitious programmes for committed and socially-minded students.
- Climate Action Bristol gives student consultants the tools to local work with a local businesses to develop and help deliver a bespoke Climate Action Plan. These plans allow local organisations and businesses to identify a clear course of action on how to make changes to become more sustainable. Find out more about Climate Action Bristol.
- Students to Inspire is a volunteering programme which empowers students to connect and learn about the Bristol community through showcasing local people’s real-life stories. The project aims to create a safe space for people in the community to share their inspiring and unique stories via the power of a video, blog, podcast, magazine, live event and so many other ways. We hope that this can highlight important social causes in the city and give a platform to underrepresented groups and individuals. Find out more about Students to Inspire.
