Welcome
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.
National Student Volunteering Week: 22nd - 28th February 2010
There's lots of exciting events going on, including our Enterprise Challenge (where we will give YOU money if you can make money for charity), School Teaching Experience Sessions, Sports Volunteering Tasters, Talks by Experts on Volunteering Around the World and lots of 'Give it a Go' Volunteering Opportunities, plus much, much more.
Get stuck in!
We encourage anyone, students and staff, to make the most of it.
