Record your experiences
You can record and track your development as a volunteer in My Skills.
There are two ways to get recognised for your valuable work:
- The Bristol PLUS Award is the University’s employability Award. Your volunteering hours can contribute towards it if you are registered.
- Volunteering Badges are introduced by Bristol SU to recognise and celebrate your achievements.
Before you volunteer (Student visa holders)
If you have a Student visa, read working in the UK during studies and working in the UK after your studies to ensure you comply with visa conditions.
