Volunteering for the Meridian Society

The Meridian Society is run on a not-for-profit basis. We have a board of trustees responsible for the day-to-day running of our organisation, but we depend largely on the voluntary work of the Chinese student community, friends and colleagues. In order to develop and sustain our programme of activities, we welcome your support in the form of donations, sponsorship, as well as voluntary work.

Please contact us if you would like to volunteer.
