Student volunteering at Royal Holloway

Welcome to Royal Holloway Volunteering

Volunteering is one of the best extra-curricular activities you can take part in at University, whether you want to develop your own skills, try out future career paths, meet like minded people or make a genuine difference in the local community.

How does it work?

First you can register on our online volunteering system. Using this system you can create a profile and search a range of different volunteering opportunities and community partners. If you find an opportunity that you are interested in, you can use the system to sign up or contact the relevant community partner!

Once you have volunteered, you can even record your volunteering hours using the system. Recording hours will make you eligible for our bespoke Royal Holloway Inspired Awards.

Each week we send out an update featuring a selection of great opportunities. Have a look at our most recent updates!
