How to record your volunteering

Our reward & recognition scheme has been designed to celebrate and thank King’s staff and students for their contributions to our local, national, and global community, through volunteering.

To receive any of the rewards below, you'll need to submit your hours via the King's Volunteering platform.

Hours should be approved by the organisation that you've volunteered your time to, your line-manager if you are a member of staff using your Service Time or King's Volunteering (volunteer@kcl.ac.uk) if you have volunteered your time for an initiative King's Volunteering have organised.

If your approver isn't one of the above, please email volunteer@kcl.ac.uk with a brief explanation as to who your approver is and why they are approving your hours. Any volunteering hours related to KCLSU activity (e.g. committee member hours and student group activity) should be logged with KCLSU.
