Welcome to Bucks volunteering... 

Volunteering is not only doing something for free that benefits others but it is also a great way to get to know people, learn new things, gain experience in what interests

you and get involved in something you care about.

Every year, our students volunteer their time in both the local community and within the institution itself. Students are engaged in a wide variety of projects, working with organisations such as the Woodland Ranger Service, Revive the Wye, Thames Valley Police and Wycombe Youth Action. As well as taking part in community volunteering, we fundraise for a number of charities each year.

When making an enquiry into volunteering, you will be asked to complete a registration form. This enables us to match you with opportunities that will improve the skills you already possess as well as the skills you feel that you feel you are lacking. You can also speak with a member of staff about what types of projects you are interested in and what time commitment you can agree to.

For more information and to get involved, contact the volunteering team.
