Volunteering Groups
Volunteering clubs and groups are student groups who get together to do hands on campaigning and volunteering in Edinburgh. It's a great option for anyone who's hoping to meet new friends through volunteering.

Can't we be a society instead?
Feedback has shown that the current society model doesn't work well for charitable or voluntary groups as it involves quite a lot of red tape.
We're always working to improve the package we offer and we aim to provide as many- if not more- benefits than you'd get as a society, so please let us know your needs.
We're already listed as a charitable/community based society. What happens to us?
Although existing charitable societies won't be forced to move to this model, we're hoping the package we provide will be more tailored to your needs, meaning you choose to move over to us. We'd love to get to know you and help support your charitable aims.
