Loads of opportunities around at the moment for getting that much-needed ‘experience’ on your application forms. The City Volunteering Fair is happening on 3rd November from 15.00-17.00 in the Great Hall. Here you’ll get the opportunity to meet the best local and national organisations to volunteer with.

So check out the poster for more information and book online. You do need to pre-register for this event.

Second big date for your diary is the deadline of the 12th November to get your applications in for the Community Project Start-Up Fund. Here’s your chance to bid for £250 to get a volunteering project off the ground in your community. As part of the package successful applicants will receive specialist training and a project management coach from investment bank, UBS.
