  • Educate local primary and secondary school children about science and sustainability and inspire the next generation of students!

     

    Join us as a science and / or sustainability volunteer for Guild Schools!

    The Guild Schools volunteering opportunity gives University of Liverpool Students the chance to deliver workshops on various topics in Primary or Secondary schools across Merseyside. The project has 3 strands: Science in Schools, Sustainability in Schools and Societies in Schools.

    The Science and Sustainability strand allows students to deliver pre-determined one hour sessions to pupils as chosen by the school. For more information about the Societies in Schools strand, see here.

    Sustainability topics include: Biodiversity, Energy and the Environment and Environmental careers. Sessions suitable for primary and secondary age pupils.

    Science topics cover Biology, Chemistry and Physics and include an experiment and activities for pupils to get involved with. Sessions targeted to year 5/6 primary age pupils (age 9-11).

    Guild Schools is a great opportunity for students and pupils to develop their skills and experience something new, plus it’s completely free for both the student volunteers and the schools themselves. All training, session materials and transport will be provided by the Guild.

    All participants will need to register as a volunteer on this platform and MUST attend Safeguarding training in order to deliver a session in schools, please see dates below.

    Local schools are contacted about available sessions in October. We will then let volunteers know which sessions are available to run via email and Microsoft Teams and schedule a briefing session to discuss the session with you. 

    To find out more about Science and Sustainability in Schools volunteering you can attend one of our online introduction sessions to see if the opportunity is right for you:

    Or you can email school@liverpool.ac.uk.

  • Help students swap their way to a brand new wardrobe!

    Were looking for volunteers to continue to run Liverpool Guild of Students' very own swap shop! Students can donate unwanted clothes and accessories across the year and swap them for something else.

     

    The swap shop will be running on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout term time from 11am to 3pm; and we need your help to keep it running!

     

    Activities will include:

    • Supporting students with the swapping process – taking in and sorting donated items. Taking back hangers from swapped items. Giving out and redeeming tokens.
    • Counting numbers of items donated and swapped
    • Opening and closing the space
    • Making sure the space is clean and tidy, and clothes are hung neatly and on the correct size rails
    • Monitoring student usage of the swap shop

     

    The swap shop is located in the Cloakroom in the Guild basement and there are floor signs to help you find it. Shifts will last 2hrs, 11am - 1pm and 1pm - 3pm. We’ll aim to be flexible when allocating shifts, but you’ll need to be free for at least one of those times on a Tues, Weds and / or Thurs. Once accepted as a volunteer, you'll receive a link to a form to input the hours you're available. We'll then contact you via email when shifts are available.

     

    Any clothing repair / sewing skills would be greatly appreciated as well as a creative eye and enthusiasm for sustainable fashion. We are always open to ideas on how to make the space as welcoming and inclusive as possible! This is a great opportunity to get some hands-on experience in supporting a sustainable initiative.

     

    We welcome volunteers of all abilities. Please let us know about any access needs so we can ensure you have the support and resources to participate fully. If you have any questions, please contact Lizzie on lgsustainability@liverpool.ac.uk.

  • We're offering an opportunity to market our mental health training, which was piloted in government to enforce mental health policy change!

    The Be Free Campaign has produced a high-quality mental health training programme designed for the workplace. Mental health in the workplace is a massive issue both for employee welfare and business function- £56 billion was lost in 2021 from UK businesses in 2021 due to mental health issues. 

    Piloted in the government department of health and social care, we had a massive impact and hope to roll out this training to more employers- which we need your help with! This is a fantastic opportunity to network with high-value contacts, market a high-quality product and make a difference while doing it!

    This role would involve working as a team to plan a marketing strategy, putting it into motion, and working with the other charity teams to make use of our resources! We would highly recommend this opportunity for anyone who is looking for a future in marketing and wants to start out with a high-profile project. Despite this being an important project, as a mental health charity, our priority is our volunteers' wellbeing so this opportunity is as much or as little as you like with complete support from all the leads here.
