John Braime, Volunteering Manager, said: "Volunteering is now firmly established as part of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø experience, with the number of students taking part more than doubling in the last two years. Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø volunteers tell us they've learnt new skills and made new friends, and point out that getting involved helps them feel more connected with London. We also recently contacted some of our alumni, who said how volunteering had helped them in their post-Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø careers."
