The University\u2019s Big Volunteer Day in particular was a huge success, with 145 students helping to clean up an area in Ardwick before helping to plant hedges and over 1,000 bulbs.<\/p>\n<p>SALC was well-represented at the event, with a walking bus of students heading to the event together from the Samuel Alexander building. This provided some support for anyone who might be a bit daunted about turning up to a large event on their own and was a great opportunity for SALC students to get to know each other.<\/p>\n<p>The Student Experience team would like to use walking buses before\u00a0other events to bring groups of students together so, if you think a walking bus would be good for an event you are interested in, please contact us via salcstudents@manchester.ac.uk.<\/p>\n<p>If you have been inspired by the Big Volunteer Day and you\u2019d like to get involved in more volunteering, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.find-volunteering.manchester.ac.uk\/\">Volunteer Hub<\/a>, where you can filter hundreds of opportunities to suit your interests.

The University\u2019s Big Volunteer Day in particular was a huge success, with 145 students helping to clean up an area in Ardwick before helping to plant hedges and over 1,000 bulbs.<\/p>\n<p>SALC was well-represented at the event, with a walking bus of students heading to the event together from the Samuel Alexander building. This provided some support for anyone who might be a bit daunted about turning up to a large event on their own and was a great opportunity for SALC students to get to know each other.<\/p>\n<p>The Student Experience team would like to use walking buses before\u00a0other events to bring group of students together before other events so if you&#8217;d like us to organise a walking bus for another event, please contact us via salcstudents@manchester.ac.uk.<\/p>\n<p>If you have been inspired by the Big Volunteer Day and you\u2019d like to get involved in more volunteering, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.find-volunteering.manchester.ac.uk\/\">Volunteer Hub<\/a>, where you can filter hundreds of volunteering opportunities depending on your interests.
