Volunteering
Volunteering is a great way to get involved, build networks, and gain experience relevant to your degree. Whether you're helping out at a community organisation, participating in university-led initiatives, or contributing your skills to a cause you care about, volunteering shows future employers that you're proactive, committed, and willing to learn.
It’s also a powerful way to develop soft skills like communication, teamwork, and adaptability in real-world settings. Many students also find that volunteering helps them feel more connected to their community and their university. If you're not sure where to start then check out these volunteering sites - make sure that you look for degree relevant opportunities that will help build upon the skills and knowledge you are developing in your degree.
You will not require insurance for this as Volunteer organisations have their own insurance.
