Online Volunteering Opportunities

There are a number of opportunities that you can get involved in from the comfort of your own home. This can include supporting charities all over the world over the internet, and we have gathered together a number of great opportunities right here.

These quick, online opportunities can be a great stress buster during exam times, so why not take a break from revision with some bite size 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 likeminded 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 means that you will receive Passport points for your involvement, and 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!
