Helping others outside of study 🧑

We're proud that many of our students volunteer with Royal Holloway Volunteering, contributing to communities and developing their own skills in the process. Socially purposeful projects range from nature conservation, hosting tea parties for local people, running sports activities, and much more.

Our Festival of Volunteering this week was a worthy showcase of the opportunities available.
