King's College London

 

Each year in March, students, staff and alumni take part in a range of volunteering activities across the world as part of King’s Global Day of Service.

This year, King’s Global Day of Service is on Wednesday 25^th March (to celebrate the day King’s was founded) but any volunteering activities that take place in March can contribute to our volunteering hours.

King’s is the first university in the UK to run Service events at this scale and our Global Day of Service activities represent our commitment to serving local, national and international communities.

The 2019 Global Day of Service involved 190 volunteers in nine Service events in London and fifteen international events across five continents. In total, 635 Service hours were completed, with an estimated economic impact of £5,000.

 

This year we want to have an even bigger impact and are calling on students, staff and alumni to arrange or take part in a volunteering event.

What can you do?

• Organise a volunteering activity in March or find a volunteering event to take part in.
