    04 Feb 2026 13:20 - 15:50

    Volunteers work with older people on a one-to-one basis, helping them to use their laptops, phones and tablets. We are now based in Kenilworth with transport provided or direct by bus from the bus interchange. Register your interest to join the Warwick Digital Cafe mailing list.

    We help older people use their phones, tablets and laptops so that they can remain independent and connected with the community. 

    The clients are mostly elderly people from the local area. There is NO previous experience required! If you know how to work your phone/laptop/tablet then you'll be able to help the older learners to use theirs. Often you'll be teaching them quite basic skills like how to use Google Maps, share photos and send emails. In the event that something that you are unfamiliar with arises during the sessions, one of the project leaders will always be there to help!

    The Kenilworth Community Centre is in Kenilworth and can be reached by a bus service direct from the Bus Interchange on campus, the fare being refunded by Warwick Volunteers at the end of the term.

    We will meet at 1:20pm at the bus interchange to take the 11 bus to Kenilworth. Sessions last from 2:00pm to 3:30pm on various dates depending on the availability of student volunteers.

  • Come take out the frustrations of the week on some not-so-innocent Holly Trees. Holly accumulates in woodland, blocking out the light for smaller plants below and reducing biodiversity... so come chop them down. :) We will be joining a local group called Warwickshire Conservation Volunteers https://www.wcvgroup.org.uk/wcv2012-home

    Date: Wednesday 4 February

    Time: 10:00 am - 2:30 pm 

    Meeting place: Outside Rootes Launderette

    Volunteers will be cutting down small holly trees along Kenilworth road, to improve the biodiversity in the woodland. This activity provides a great opportunity for volunteers to explore nature. A woodland can become dark and gloomy if there are a lot of holly trees growing close together. This impacts biodiversity in the woodland, as other tree species do not have enough light to germinate. Gradually over time, a species-rich woodland can turn into a wood dominated by holly trees.

    Tools and gloves are provided. No experience is needed. Please wear suitable outdoor clothing and strong shoes or boots that you don't mind getting a little muddy. Holly has prickly leaves, so wear old clothes that fully cover your arms, legs and ankles.

    Volunteers can borrow wellies and raincoats from Warwick Volunteers. 

    Light snacks will be provided. Recommended to bring additional snacks and bottled water.

    We encourage you to get in touch if you have any specific access requirements, or need more information about the content and delivery method of a specific volunteering opportunity. If you have any requests related to a disability, please email volunteers@warwick.ac.uk giving at least two working days’ notice if possible.
