From activities right on your doorstep to exploring the wild and wonderful Peak District, you can experience amazing things by volunteering.

Our Give it a Go volunteering days are the best way to give volunteering a try. Each activity is designed as a taster day, enabling you to try something new and gain new skills. They are perfect with friends and a great way to meet like-minded people.

All activities including transport are free. For all our volunteering, no experience is required.

You do not need to buy a ticket from the Box Office, instead book your place in the Sheffield Volunteering office in your Sheffield Students' Union.
