Everyone at the Warwick Volunteers team would like to say a big thank you to all our volunteers for your hard work this year.

We hope your summer vacation will give you a chance to relax and reflect on the past year’s successes. We will be sending occasional emails over the summer to keep in touch and we look forward to seeing you in October.

We wish everyone leaving Warwick the very best of luck in your future. Don’t forget, even after you graduate Warwick can still support you. You will have free access to the careers services for 3 years after graduation. For further information please see the Student Careers and Skills website

Volunteering Fair – Thursday 27th September 2018

Save the date: The Volunteering Fair will take place on Thursday 27th September in the Rootes Restaurant between 10.30am-3.30 pm.
The Fair is a great opportunity to find out more about the projects on offer and talk to student Project Leaders and representatives from local charities, more details to follow.

If you are thinking about joining a school or youth volunteering project next year, please remember that it’s much easier and quicker to get the documentation you need for a DBS check (and Certificate of Good Conduct if applicable) over the summer vacation when you go home, so you have it ready to bring with you at the start of next term.

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.

Expenses deadline - Friday 29th June

If you have any expenses that you have incurred during your volunteering that you still need to claim, you need to do this by 2:30pm this Friday (29th June).
