Durham University offers one of the leading staff volunteering schemes in the UK and is the one of the few universities offering such an innovative community engagement programme to every member of staff.  

Already over 10% of Durham staff are participating in the scheme; we want every member of staff to have the opportunity to experience volunteering as a positive personal and career development tool, whilst aiming to make Durham University the quality benchmark for this type of volunteering. 

If you are a member of University staff, through this scheme, you have the opportunity to volunteer for up to 5 days per annum in work time*.  This can be either as an individual or as part of a team in a one-off Team Challenge activity.  Whatever your interest, please get in touch and we will do our best to find the right opportunity for you.

If you are a representative of a community organisation we welcome the opportunity to make links with you, either to source volunteers, develop projects or for wider more strategic reasons.  Please browse the website to find out more about what is available or contact us at community.engagement@durham.ac.uk for more information.

*Volunteering requires line manager approval and is subject to operational requirements.  Volunteer days are pro-rata for part-time staff
