Volunteering at Bucks

Volunteering is not only doing something that benefits others, but it is also a great way to meet new people, enhance your CV, develop new skills and get involved in something outside of your degree.

Every year, our members volunteer their time in both the local community and within our University itself. Students are engaged in a wide variety of projects, working with organisations such as Chiltern Rangers, Wycombe Homeless Connection and Child Bereavement. There are many regular projects you can get involved with as well as several charity leadership positions where you can be creative and run your own projects.

We offer short-term volunteering, one-off and adhoc opportunities, long-term volunteering and placement opportunities. Our volunteering opportunities can be found in the dedicated portal.

Our award

Students who log their hours on our volunteering portal can receive certificates through our accreditation system.

  • 50 hours - Bronze
  • 100 hours - Silver
  • 200 hours - Gold
  • 400 hours - Platinum

Students who reach 200 and 400 hours will have their certificates signed by the University's Vice-Chancellor and will have the chance to receive a personal reference from the Volunteering Coordinator. These certificates can really help you stand out to employers after you finish univeristy.

For more information, or to have a chat about volunteering and how we can help and support you, please email volunteering@bucks.ac.uk, or pop into the Students' Union offices. You can also check out our volunteering handbook which can be found under the Student Activities section of our 'Policies and resources page.'
