Welcome!
As we approach the end of the year and head into the festive season, we are seeing even more volunteering opportunities being added to the Volun-tees platform. There are some great opportunities to get involved in. Whether you want a long-term commitment or just a short term project – why not take a look and see what works best for you.
Just an important reminder to ensure that once you start volunteering to add your volunteering hours to your profile. This is a great way to have evidence of the skills and experiences that you have had which all count towards the University volunteering awards too. If you need any help, please do get in touch. We hope to hold our annual Volun-cheers celebration event in May.
If you would like some initial help with volunteering, please speak to one of our advisers, or email volunteering@tees.ac.uk
