The vTeam are always looking for new volunteering opportunities for students to take part in.
If you have an idea for a project, either a one-off or a regular opportunity then please let us know; no idea is too big or too small.

The vTeam will help with the recruitment of volunteers, sort out CRB checks, transport and any necessary funding that may be needed. And there are plenty of ways to contact us. Contact us either through email at vteam@essex.ac.uk, Facebook, Twitter or our blog. If you want to start your own project but just need a little inspiration then check out the projects that are currently running from the Colchester campus here.
