LSU Action has organised a variety of projects for students to get involved in, from dog walking to providing IT help for the elderly, there is something of everyone.
Pippa Baynham, LSU Action Exec said: “National Student Volunteer Week is the perfect opportunity to get involved in helping the local community, you don’t need any experience and you don’t have to commit to anything long term, so come along, try our projects and fall in love with volunteering.”
