Fundraising Week - Air Ambulance UK (01/08/2026, 09:00)

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 08:32:46 +0100

Air Ambulances UK (AAUK) is the national charity supporting the lifesaving work of the UK’s 21 air ambulance charities, helping them to save even more lives every day. Air ambulance charities deliver advanced pre-hospital critical care to patients who have suffered life-threatening or life-changing injuries or medical emergencies, bringing the Emergency Department directly to the scene.
We are looking for enthusiastic and friendly Fundraising Volunteers to support a series of exciting upcoming events in partnership with national organisations, including a major fundraising week this summer.
About the role
This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a public-facing fundraising initiative, helping to raise awareness and vital funds for air ambulance charities across the UK.
You’ll engage with members of the public in busy locations, helping to highlight the importance of supporting air ambulance charities, which rely almost entirely on donations to continue their vital work.

What will you be doing?
As a Fundraising Volunteer, you may be involved in:
• Speaking to members of the public about the work of air ambulance charities
• Encouraging donations (including cashless options)
• Handing out leaflets and raising awareness
• Supporting fun, simple engagement activities (e.g. games, quizzes, giveaways)
• Helping deliver family-friendly activities
• Creating a welcoming, positive presence at events
• Representing AAUK and the wider air ambulance sector
• Most importantly – having fun while supporting a life-saving cause
What are we looking for?
We are looking for people who are:
• Friendly, approachable and confident speaking to the public
• Passionate about supporting charitable causes
• Reliable and able to work as part of a team
• Proactive and enthusiastic
• Happy to get involved in a variety of activities
No previous volunteering or fundraising experience is required – just a positive attitude!

Time commitment
Our initial campaign will run from 1st – 8th August, with volunteer shifts available across multiple locations.
• Flexible shifts (morning, afternoon or full day)
• You can sign up for as much or as little time as you’re able to give
• Opportunities to support future events beyond August

• The chance to meet new people and be part of a supportive team
• Insight into the work of air ambulance charities
• Food and drink vouchers (for selected event days)
• Free parking at event locations
• A fun and rewarding volunteering experience

Why this role matters
Air ambulance charities across the UK respond to more than 45,000 missions every year, delivering advanced critical care at the scene to patients in urgent need.
As these services are funded largely through public donations, volunteer support plays an important role in helping raise awareness and vital funds to ensure they can continue their work across the UK.

Description:

Bucks Students' Union can fund students to join networking events. Please find the event's overview below:

"Join us for a Business Networking event in Nottingham, where you can promote your business and brand.

Join business owners, professionals, and community-minded entrepreneurs from across Nottingham for an evening of genuine conversation, collaboration, and fresh ideas — all in the stylish surroundings of Sheriff House.

At Spark Business Networking, we do things a little differently.

Our events are designed to feel structured, but relaxed. We believe networking should be about building real relationships, not just collecting business cards or rushing through a quick pitch. Whether you are a confident networker or walking into your first event, you will be welcomed into a supportive room where conversations feel natural, introductions matter, and people genuinely want to help each other grow.

What Spark Is All About

Our aim is to create a friendly and professional business community where people can connect with purpose.

We bring together local business owners, professionals, freelancers, and decision-makers who want more than surface-level networking. Our goal is to help people build trust, share ideas, create opportunities, and form relationships that continue long after the event has finished.

We focus on:

✨ Meaningful conversations
✨ Supportive introductions
✨ Collaboration over competition
✨ A relaxed but professional atmosphere
✨ Long-term business relationships
✨ Helping local businesses feel more connected

This is not a room full of pressure, hard selling, or awkward pitches. It is a chance to meet good people, talk about what you do, learn from others, and explore where genuine opportunities may naturally develop.

What to Expect

During the evening, you can expect:

✨ Friendly, relaxed networking
✨ A warm welcome from the Spark team
✨ A supportive community of like-minded professionals
✨ Opportunities to introduce yourself and your business
✨ Time to build real conversations, not just quick exchanges
✨ Nibbles included
✨ A chance to connect, collaborate, learn and grow

We want everyone who attends to leave feeling like they have made valuable connections, had useful conversations, and discovered new opportunities."

Love Never Dies: Why the Phantom is Still Haunting the Opera (03/10/2026, 13:00)

Time: 1pm - 4.15pm (including 15 minutes break)

Location: Broadway Cinema, 14-18 Broad Street, Nottingham, NG1 3AL

Description:

In 1925, Lon Chaney terrified audiences with his signature ghoulish make-up as the murderous and mysterious Phantom, sparking the flame for endless adaptations, countless pop culture references, and a hit West End musical. Yet another adaptation is rumoured to be in production, with even Guillermo del Toro throwing his name in the hat following his 2025 film of that other misunderstood Universal Monster, Frankenstein.

But what is it about the story of an angry incel living in the bowels of the Paris Opera House that has kept public interest going for over a hundred years?

In this 3-hour session, we’ll dive into the origins of the story, tracking through time as the Phantom develops from genius madman to romantic Byronic hero, to vicious killer and back again.

Adaptations covered include Andrew Lloyd Webber, Joel Schumacher, Dario Argento, Brian de Palma and Terence Fisher to name just a few.

Masks and capes welcome, but please leave your noose at home.

Letting Grow wants to influence a generation to love, care and support our beautiful planet.

We've turned unused areas in playgrounds into thriving allotments, grown fruit and veg for school kitchens and run tree planting initiatives.
Creating accessible and inclusive green spaces is at the centre of what we do. We offer a chance for everybody to get outside, get their hands dirty and experience nature.

Letting Grow is transforming the outdoor space at Greenford Library into a new community garden.
What is currently an underused grass area will become an accessible green space for local residents, community groups, young people and wildlife. The garden will include growing areas, sensory planting, seating spaces and habitats for pollinators, creating a welcoming place for
people to connect with nature.
This is an opportunity to be involved from the very beginning and help create a lasting community asset for Greenford. Individuals and groups are welcome.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Symbolism, Storytelling, and the Power of TV (Create & Learn) (08/08/2026, 13:00)

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 11:24:00 +0100

Title: Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Symbolism, Storytelling, and the Power of TV

Date: 8th August 2026, Saturday

Time: 1pm - 4.15pm (including 15 minutes break)

Location: Broadway Cinema, 14-18 Broad Street, Nottingham, NG1 3AL

Description:

More than just a cult teen drama, Buffy the Vampire Slayer has become one of the most studied television series of all time, praised for its rich layers of meaning and its lasting influence on the medium.

This three-hour course explores how Buffy transformed television storytelling. We’ll examine how the series draws on classic narrative structures like the hero’s journey, while using monsters as metaphors for adolescence, identity, and growing up. We’ll also explore its feminist legacy, celebrating its groundbreaking portrayal of female power, while considering how this reads through a more complex modern lens.

We’ll also look at how Buffy redefined what television could achieve: blending horror, fantasy, comedy, and soap opera into something entirely new, and pioneering long-form storytelling that shaped the future of TV.

Across the session, we’ll explore the creation of the show and take a closer look at key iconic episodes, examining how Buffy plays with format, genre, and mythology to create a piece of television history that changed everything.
