The New University Services volunteering scheme launched in the University Chapel last week.

The event was a success with over 80 members of staff from across University Services in attendance.

David Newall, Secretary of Court opened the event outlining the scheme which allows members of staff to volunteer up to 2 days, with authorised paid leave which each participant will be expected to match pro-rata with time from their annual leave entitlement.

The two volunteering organisations that have been chosen, Cornerstone and The Conservation Volunteers (TCV), then made presentations giving some background and outlining the opportunities that are available.  There was then an opportunity for questions where members of staff could find out more and make a choice as to the organisation they would like to volunteer for.

If you have expressed an interest in volunteering with the Volunteering Committee, they will be in touch in due course about the opportunities.

If you were unable to attend the event but would like more information about the options available, please email volunteer-programme@glasgow.ac.uk
