Welcome

UCAN LOGO Funded by the Higher Education Active Community Fund (HEACF) scheme, UCAN is the University and Students' Union initiative to develop links between University students and the wider community.  Volunteers from any academic discipline are supported, with an emphasis on working in partnership with not-for-profit organisations and in disadvantaged areas.  UCAN has a range of volunteering opportunities in the Bradford area for students to undertake, and encourages students to develop their own volunteering projects within UCAN.

 

Interested in doing some volunteering for Welcome Week 2010?

Lots of exciting opportunities to welcome new students to the University.  Get in contact today!
