During term time, the LSE Volunteer Centre posts regular blogs highlighting voluntary opportunities live on CareerHub, by theme. This week’s focus is on Christmas volunteering.
Volunteering at Christmas can be a fantastic thing to do. Whilst Christmas is a time of parties, food and drink it’s also a time of giving and helping others. We also know that many LSE students will be spending time in the UK over the festive period, away from their families, and will be looking for companionship and a way to give back to the communities they are living in.
