    When you register your interest here, you will be sent details of the our upcoming information sessions and how you can get involved.

    How does the project work?
    The Fun with Numbers project is run by Student Leaders who deliver the training, coordinate the sessions in school and support volunteers throughout. If you are interested in getting involved and would like to find out more about upcoming sessions, make sure you are signed up to this mailing list.

    Do I need any experience?
    No previous experience is required, and new volunteers are always welcome. Sign up for this project will close at the end of week 5. 

    When and where do sessions take place?
    Sessions take place weekly during term time on a Wednesday lunchtime at a local primary school and last approximately 1 hour. Volunteers need to be available half an hour either side to factor in the travel time.

    Do I need to come every week?
    Volunteering is flexible, so you can get involved as little or as often as you like. You do not need to volunteer every week, you can take part whenever it works for you. These sessions are limited to Term 2.

    How will I get to the location? 
    A small group of volunteers will meet a Student Leader on campus and will travel to the location together. Warwick Volunteers will provide a taxi for volunteers to travel to and from the venue.  If you live close to the school, you can always choose to make your own way there.

    Will I need a DBS check?
    Yes, volunteers will need to have a DBS check. There is no charge for this. Warwick Volunteers will send you a link after you have after you have attended a training session to start the process.

    Why should I get involved?
    This is a great opportunity to volunteer at a local primary school and make a difference to your local community. It's also a great way to get off campus, try something new, meet other volunteers and have fun!
