Jump IN
Jump IN
Jump IN is an all-encompassing programme, which supports you in every stage of your volunteering journey. Whether you are a seasoned volunteer, or looking for your first role, Jump IN is there for you.
From volunteering fairs for those just starting out or looking for something new to training sessions and expert Q&As for those more experienced in volunteering, we ensure you can build the networks, skills and confidence you need to progress in your voluntary role and enhance your employability skills.
We provide sessions around leadership, volunteer management, fundraising, influencing, communication, conflict resolution and much, much more.
Alternatively, if you have got a charitable or voluntary idea of your own, we can provide you with the guidance you need to set up and structure your project for maximum impact. We can also introduce you to key contacts that can help your project succeed.
Registration open throughout the academic year.

World Kidney Day is a global campaign aimed at raising awareness of the importance of our kidneys. Globally, there are more than 850 million people affected by chronic kidney disease. We need to do our part to raise awareness of this disease and the need to keep our kidneys healthy. The World Kidney Day campaign year-on-year has also supported the need for organ donors - transplantation is the best treatment for people living with advanced kidney disease. With the support of campaigns like World Kidney Day, we can encourage people to register as organ donors and tell their loved ones about their decisions.
