Universities and Student Unions across the UK develop strong relationships with local, regional and national organisations which have volunteering opportunities available for students to take part on.
One of the best ways advertise volunteering opportunities to students, get their attention and create a connection with potential future volunteers is by attending a Volunteering Fair on campus.
Volunteering Fairs (Festivals, Road Shows etc.) give organisations the opportunity to come to a University campus to advertise their volunteering roles and get to know the different student populations of the different Universities. It also allow students to better understand the incredible work that is being done and to speak with a variety of organisations on the same day.
These are fantastic events and a great opportunity to really speak with students directly.
Although Volunteering Fairs can occur at any time during the year, a high number of Universities and SU's hold theirs between September and November.
We've decided to put together a list of some of the fairs happening accross the country during the next 2 months and we were pleasantly surprised to see how many fairs are available to students in the UK.
