I’m a graduate – can I still get some information and advice about volunteering?

As a graduate of the University of Leicester you are welcome to visit and use the resources in the Student Development Zone. If you are coming from any distance, please check our opening hours especially during vacations. If you're  graduating in the summer you can still get involved in the University's volunteering programme, up until the start of the new academic year, so if you see any projects on these pages that interest you, please get in touch.

There are a number of organisations and websites that you can contact to find out about different volunteering opportunities in Leicester, across the UK and even abroad.
