Volunteering Opportunities Page
We have a site dedicated to community led activity. Here you can advertise your volunteering opportunities and find volunteers for your organisation. Where possible, the Volunteer Team can target students we think would be the perfect fit for your specific opportunity.
To list your opportunity, you first register your organisation. Here is a step by step guide on how to set up an account and list your opportunities to University of Bath students.
If you are unable to access your account, please email volunteers@bath.ac.uk
IMPORTANT: International Students are limited to how many volunteering hours they can undertake whilst they are studying in the UK, in light of this, and other restrictions, the Volunteering Team have created a factsheet to help understand the difference between Volunteering and Voluntary Work. Also see our International Student Volunteering webapage.
Volunteer Recruitment Terms and Conditions - by advertising your volunteering opportunities via The SU Bath you are agreeing to abide by the Volunteer Recruitment Terms and Conditions.
Bath V Team
Bath V Team is one of our largest student-led groups. They organise volunteering projects around the community, working with a variety of charities and causes.
Vision: The University of Bath has a culture of volunteering, enabling students to engage with meaningful student-led opportunities to contribute to their local community.
Aim: Build relationships between students and residents through compassionate, inclusive and sustainable projects that focus on improving the lives of those around us.
What this means for you as a partner?
We are looking for opportunities for students to run a community project with you. It needs to be something that a student can have a lead on with some autonomy but still working closely with you as well as capacity for 5+ volunteers to help each time it runs. To discuss how we can work together, please get in touch with volunteers@bath.ac.uk.
RAG (Raise & Give) Student Fundraising
All student led fundraising goes through RAG (Raise and Give). They support students with advice, guidance and legal processes. RAG have several ways they can work with you through the year;
Big 4 - Each year RAG selects four charities to be the main recipients of fundraising activity. Applications to be one of the Big Four open in January. To find out more check out RAG’s webpage. Each year this is RAG’s main focus and where most funds are directed.
RAG also run several small fundraisers events throughout the year for charities, examples include Sleep Out for Julian House and Kennel Break for Bath Cats and Dogs Home. If you have an idea for a joint event email rag@bath.ac.uk
