What an absolutely beautiful day to get outdoors & take a break from studying!

Thank you to Michelle from St. Anne’s School for this wonderful opportunity. If you want to be part of these amazing opportunities, head to the Volunteering Portal & sign up to Community Gardens!

Our volunteers had a rewarding day at Bagot’s Castle, contributing to the upkeep and preservation of the historic landmark through cleanup and tree planting.

Our new Exec team for 2025-2026 have been meeting together for their first training session today. It’s been great to see everyone together and we can’t wait to get started!

Warwick Volunteers is beyond proud to announce that we have received the King’s Award for Voluntary Service.

The award is the highest accolade possible for a UK voluntary group and, as the MBE of volunteering, is in recognition of the massive impact that University of Warwick student volunteers have had on the local community.

Student volunteering is at the heart of everything we do and we are delighted that the energy and enthusiasm that so many students put into helping others has been recognised in this way.

Equally, the work of Warwick Volunteers would be impossible without the time and dedication of the many local community groups, charities and individual members of the public who volunteer their time in support of our projects and who work so hard behind the scenes to make sure that student volunteers can focus on their activities.

We are deeply grateful to West Midlands Lieutenancy and everyone involved in our nomination. Thank you!
