Volunteering Blogposts and Spotlights are created to celebrate and share the stories of our volunteers who have made a meaningful impact.

They highlight project achievements, inspiring contributions and amazing impact of our Student-Led Volunteering Projects.

Being featured on our Website and Instagram is one way we recognise and thank volunteers for their dedication, creativity, and leadership. It’s also a chance to inspire others, build community, and showcase the difference students are making through their projects.

We’d love to showcase your incredible volunteering efforts! Get in touch at [email protected], and we can feature your work on our Website and Instagram.

The Volunteering Showcase is a special part of the Volunteering calender, designed to spotlight and celebrate the amazing work of student volunteers across KCLSU. As part of our Awards event series, this evening brings together volunteers to be recognised for their dedication and impact!

The event is a chance for students to share what their amazing volunteering projects have achieved through short presentations, connect with other volunteers, and reflect on their contributions throughout the year.

It’s also a fun and social evening, with games, music, and refreshments to enjoy. Whether you're presenting or attending, the Volunteer Showcase is all about celebrating student-led change and the vibrant volunteering community at King’s!

Join us at our Volunteer Showcase in February 2026!
