A HAMPSHIRE charity is offering students a way to get one step ahead and boost their CVs through volunteering.

The Sailors’ Society says it can provide university students with valuable experience in event organisation, fundraising and the third sector.

Trust and Corporate Fundraiser Helen Alexander, herself a recent Southampton University graduate, said: “We understand that it’s getting more difficult to find suitable employment once you have graduated.

“We have put a lot of thought into providing our local student community with opportunities to help them, and voluntary experience within their chosen sector is a great CV booster.”

“We can offer full training and a real-life insight into our work.”
