Here's how to log volunteering hours on the volunteering Portal Log Hours page:

Logging hours for a role advertised on the Volunteering Portal

All activities you are registered for will be listed on your hours logLink opens in a new window under "Community Projects". Please log your hours under this section where possible to support your project's administration and management.

Logging hours for an activity that is not advertised on the Volunteering Portal
Self-logged volunteering hours must be a verifiable Warwick Volunteers opportunity, meaning they must have been advertised in the WV newsletter, on the WV website, or directly communicated to you by a WV staff member. To log, go to the Log Hours pageLink opens in a new window, scroll down and click on the "Add Community Project" button

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

What cannot be logged?
Examples of activities that cannot be logged as volunteering hours on the WV Portal are:

• Roles undertaken as part of a Warwick SU club / society (except where expressly approved by a WV staff member)
• Course related volunteering e.g. Course rep, SSLC, volunteering as part of course-accredited requirements
• Fundraising-only roles: Where this was an activity promoted or supported by RAG, please reach out to the RAG team directly as they have alternative forms of recognition for these activities
• Political or Religious proselytising, or campaigning.

Hours logs are subject to audit and hours that do not qualify under this guidance may be removed without notice.

Please email us with the details and we’ll see if this is possible.
