Time to make a difference

All staff at the University are entitled to two extra days leave for volunteering as part of the University’s Time to Make a Difference policy.

The volunteering leave will allow colleagues to dedicate more time to causes they care about, whether through continuing a current voluntary role or by trying something new. Teams can also use the time to volunteer as a group.

Please visit the Employee Volunteering Policy pages for full details of the scheme, including guidance for managers and employees and the process for requesting leave.

If you have any questions about volunteering, please get in touch by emailing volunteer@reading.ac.uk.

If you know of a local organisation or charity that is looking for volunteers, whether staff or students, or would like to know more about corporate volunteering, please contact us at volunteer@reading.ac.uk.
