To get started:  

The Volunteer Centre holds an annual Volunteering Fair in October, and also has a variety of events going on throughout the year that you can get involved in, designed to fit your schedule.  

Email them at volunteer@lse.ac.uk if you have any questions about getting involved in volunteering.
