Shares Volunteering opportunities at university are usually vast and students often help in local communities or take part in fundraising events, but this has been disrupted due to Covid-19. To offer an alternative experience, Carnegie School of Education at Leeds Beckett University (LBU) has launched an online platform to connect students to the city of Leeds and beyond. LBU is the first UK university to make use of this innovative platform, which was realised with the help of Deedmob, a European social tech start-up based in Amsterdam. Deedmob is a sophisticated, extensive platform that connects students, employees and staff with social organisations to help them volunteer, collaborate and communicate.
