Why volunteer?

Our volunteers said

"Helping out with the Donation Drive was such a rewarding experience. It felt great knowing we were helping reduce waste and give items a second life. The team was very friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere was positive, and even though the work was physical, it was genuinely fun and energising! I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking to get involved in sustainability on campus!!" (Keshani Boosoo, Undergraduate, Warwick Medical School)

"Working at the donation drive was very enjoyable and rewarding, especially as someone who comes from a sustainability academic background. It was great to contribute to something that reduces waste, encourages circular economies, and gives back to the local community. I loved speaking with the other volunteers, charity partners, and organisers and learnt a lot from them. Would definitely recommend!"(Ruqaiyah Jarviton, Undergraduate, Global Sustainable Development)
