It's Volunteers Week! 🤝✨

At Gresham College, we're fortunate to benefit from the help of a growing number of volunteers who add to every part of the College's work.

Whether helping to greet the thousands of people who attend our lectures each year or working behind the scenes with our in-house team, there's a wide range of roles where people can make a real difference.

In the first year of the College's volunteering scheme, volunteers contributed 562 hours of support!

Don't miss the new episode of the Gresham College Podcast, featuring Professor of Physic Robin May! 🎙️
