We couldn’t do the work we do without our fantastically dedicated university student volunteers. They come from over 40 universities across London, South West, West Midlands and South East. 

There are many ways for your university to get involved! 

We build partnerships with volunteering teams, careers services and subject departments tailored to each universities’ priorities for student engagement.

In 2022 we were the biggest volunteer recruiter for University College London students. We were also part of the ‘Aspiring Educators’ programme at The University of Exeter, giving students valuable experience for their post-graduation options.

We’ve been joined by placement students from many universities including: King's College London, Kingston University, Goldsmiths University, University of Exeter, University of Birmingham, University of Wolverhampton and University of Warwick.
