Community organisations

 

Connect with King’s students and staff who are passionate about contributing to their communities and creating positive change.

We welcome partners of all sizes — from small grassroots groups and local charities to large national and international organisations. 

Whether you need regular, committed volunteers or extra support for a one-off project, King’s Volunteering can help you amplify your impact. 

Why partner with King’s? 

Working with a university gives you access to energy, skills, ideas and networks that can elevate your work. At King’s, you’ll have the chance to connect with: 

  • 40,000+ students and 9,000 staff across London — a large, diverse pool of people ready to get involved 
  • Free promotion of your volunteering opportunities through our volunteering platform 
  • Invitations to events throughout the year, including our flagship annual Volunteer Fair 
  • Opportunities for wider collaboration with King’s — from sharing your organisation’s story to taking part in cross-university initiatives, research collaborations and community projects 

Register as a community partner 

To promote your opportunities through King’s Volunteering, you’ll need to register as a community partner. This involves creating an organisation profile and uploading the following documents: 

  • Public Liability Insurance 
  • Volunteering Policy 
  • Health and Safety Policy 
  • Safeguarding Policy
  • Privacy Policy 
  • Code of Conduct or Ethics Policy 

Don’t have everything in place yet? Please don’t let that stop you — especially if you’re a smaller or newer organisation. Add what you can in the free-text box during registration, and our team will be in touch to guide you through the rest. We’re here to help you get started. 

Please note: we cannot progress an application without Public Liability Insurance.

For step-by-step guidance on using the platform, please see our support document.
