Warwick Volunteers
Summer Volunteering Opportunities
If you are around campus this Summer, there are many volunteering opportunities you can get involved in! From helping run an event to sorting through foodbank donations, there's a range of opportunities to choose from.
One-off opportunities : if you can't commit to a regular volunteering activity over the summer but would still like to give some of your time to support local projects.
Regular opportunities : if you would like to volunteer a little every week over the summer.
Please note that the hours you volunteer with these projects can count towards your Warwick Volunteers Certificate for 2018-19. Read more
Come and collect your volunteering certificates!
If you handed in an hours log last term or at the start of this term, your certificate will be ready for collection. You can collect it from our office during office hours before the end of term or alternatively you can pick it up from us next term when you are back on campus. If you’re not coming back to campus, please email us and we can arrange for your certificate to be posted or emailed out to you.

LWS Night Shelter
LWS Night Shelter is a not-for-profit organisation, set up to provide food and shelter for the homeless and vulnerably housed in Leamington Spa and the surrounding area.
They are looking for volunteers to help keep the shelter open. Volunteering is very flexible, and you can choose the role that suits you, whether it's helping with setting up, catering or staying overnight and provide companionship. You won't have to volunteer every week, but the Night Shelter relies on a safe number of volunteers to remain open.

This is an external opportunity.
External Opportunities
Warwick Volunteers cannot be held responsible for external volunteering opportunities advertised, but we do make every effort to ensure that all the information we publish is accurate. We advise volunteers to use their own judgement when selecting potential opportunities, and to check all details concerning prospective volunteering activity with the organisation involved. Please make sure that you have received all necessary training and information regarding your own health and safety before commencing volunteering. Volunteers need to make their own way to external opportunities and check arrangements for travelling with the organisations directly. Warwick Volunteers do not pay travel expenses nor arrange transport for external opportunities.
