📢Calling all King’s students, staff & King's College London Alumni 📢 Be part of something bigger! Get involved in King's Global Day of Service this March & discover how you how you can through volunteering.

Each year in March, students, staff & alumni take part in a range of volunteering activities across the world for King’s Global Day of Service. Global Day of Service is on 25 March (in recognition of the day King’s was founded) but any volunteering activities that take place in March can contribute to our volunteering hours and demonstrate the positive impact that the King’s community has locally, nationally & internationally.

We face many global challenges and our collective actions can meaningfully help others, no matter how small individual acts of kindness may feel. For Global Day of Service 2021, 544 volunteers from across 53 different countries spent 2,323 hours volunteering.

We want to have even greater impact this year, so we are calling on students, staff and alumni to arrange or take part in a volunteering event during March.
