Volunteers are the lifeblood of RUSU.
They produce our weekly newspaper, present 8 hours of radio each day, raise money for the local and global communities and provide valuable welfare services. They put something really important into the Union and continue to make it run by students and for students.
Why should I volunteer? Employers love volunteers – you can get valuable transferable skills that you can’t necessarily find in your course. You get to do amazing things – RUSU volunteers’ scuba-dive, play music to millions of people on the internet and help out students stranded in town. You put something back – Imagine how it must feel to know that 15,000 students read your column in Spark each week or you are there for someone when no-one else is.
Volunteers get that feeling all the time. You meet new people – Make friends outside your course or Halls. And... improve your sex life too!
"In a Community Service Volunteers (CSV) survey last year,... one in five 18 to 24-year-olds... said volunteering had improved their sex lives, especially those who offered their professional skills, or got involved in conservation or heritage work." - From BBC website
