Committee 24/25:
Chair: Mariella Jasper
Hi everyone! I'm Mariella (she/her) and I'm the Volunteering & Fundraising Chair for this academic year. I look forward to running fun and engaging events to raise money for important causes that YOU as students care about and support student-led volunteering projects, help local organisations, and make a difference together in the wider global community. There are volunteering opportunities for everyone, from regular weekly commitments to one-off projects - every action helps! For fundraising event updates and more join the Network and follow us on Instagram @bristolsu_volunteering!

What is the difference between the Volunteering & Fundraising Network and Bristol SU Volunteering? The V&F Network works closely with Bristol SU Volunteering, however, the Network stands out with its capabilities to run fundraising events (with the support of UoB's generous student and staff community) and to connect like-minded students. The Bristol SU Volunteering Staff support the V&F Network and its Committee each year to run these fundraising events and create an environment for students to meet other passionate individuals who care about making a difference in their community. If that sounds like you, considering joining the V&F Network.
Coming up: Come to our Coffee and Cake event, Friday 11th October 2:30-4:30pm in Senate House SU Loft, to raise money for Mind! We also have a Music Showcase Fundraiser coming up in November.
