Volunteering

There are lots of great reasons to become a volunteer, but here are just a few:

• You can develop new skills and improve your employability;
• You can meet new people and find out all about Sheffield;
• You can give your CV a great boost;
• You can work as part of a friendly team and improve your social life;
• You can gain the Hallam Award;
• You can make a valuable contribution in the local community and help change some-one’s life.

All of our projects are specifically designed to meet the needs of students and staff at Sheffield Hallam University and to fit in with the academic year. There are loads of different opportunities ranging from organising exercise sessions for older people to helping young children develop language and literacy skills in school, and you will be fully supported by a staff member all the way. We are committed to equal opportunities and strive to ensure that our projects are inclusive to all and meet a variety of community needs.

If you want to chat about any of the opportunities on offer or any project ideas you may have, please call us on (0114) 225 5005, e-mail us at volunteering@shu.ac.uk, or pop in to our office in the Activities Pod, The HUBS. If you know which opportunity you’d like to take part in, you could even fill in the application form in advance and bring it with you, or email it in.

If you’d like to be a team project leader, find out more information or fill in the project leader form. You can always chat to your staff support member for advice and support.

We look forward to hearing from you!
