Staff volunteering update
Published: 3 April 2017
The Volunteering Scheme for University Services is working with new partners and local community projects, following feedback from staff.
The Volunteering Scheme for University Services has been working with new partners, following feedback from staff. Since October 2016 we’ve arranged events in animal shelters, with older people, and with young children.
The Staff Volunteering Committee is keen to engage with more volunteering projects so do let them know:
- What kinds of activities you’d like to get involved in
- If you have any suggestions of ways staff volunteers could contribute to the local community
- Or if there’s a project near you that could do with some help
Email your suggestions to Cara.Macdowall@glasgow.ac.uk with the subject line VOLUNTEERING SUGGESTION.
Forthcoming events
Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity are looking for four volunteers on Wednesday 19 April to help promote the Kiltwalk, encouraging visitors of the hospital to take part and raise money.
Conservation Volunteers are looking for ten volunteers on Thursday 27 April to help remove invasive plants and create ponds at Garscadden Park in the west of the city.
For more details on either of these opportunities, contact Cara.Macdowall@glasgow.ac.uk.
Future developments
The Staff Volunteering Committee, chaired by Elizabeth Gray, is reviewing the pilot scheme taking into account staff feedback – look out for news on the next phase of Staff Volunteering soon.
