Volunteer Fair 2010
Thursday 28th October, 11-2
The Octagon
After the initial excitement of the Freshers' experience may have died down, a second wave of activity will be taking place in The Octagon on Thursday 28th October.
Provide Volunteering's second volunteer fair will be a great chance to get to know organisations and what is available to get involved with in the local community and even national campaigns and charities.
The fair will only be running for a few hours, and takes place in the middle of the London Universities' Volunteering Fortnight, which includes Halloween and Guy Fawkes Night, and opportunities to volunteer will be numerous throughout the two weeks as CADs are already being confirmed across London.
In addition, it's a great chance to start taking on some long-term placements throughout term-time which have proven to work fantastically alongside degrees in the past, as well as making contacts for internships over next summer (it's never too soon to think about the future).
Organisations confirmed so far include:
|
MacMillan Cancer Support
|
|
The Royal Geographical Society
|
|
The Anthony Nolan Trust
|
|
Centre of the Cell (Barts and the London's award winning educational programme)
|
|
FoodCycle
|
|
Royal National Institute of Blind People
|
|
Bangladesh Football Association (UK)
