Betsy asked:
I am a member of a volunteer community service group at Edinboro University of PA in the US. We are trying to take a trip to Scotland and visit the University of Edinburgh. We want to know if there are any groups there who are like us. We volunteer to help out at events on campus(like Move-In Day, graduation, etc), work with local businesses, hospitals, old folks home, and give tours of Edinboro campus. Trying to make a positive impact on our community basically. Are there any groups like this at University of Edinburgh? If so, who can I talk to in order to arrange a meeting between our groups?

Eventually we would like to create either an exchange program between the universities or become sister schools. Give students at both schools a chance to explore the world.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Send a letter to them. I’m sure they would be happy to help you..
Have a look on the website
specifically the area about societies
You may find a similar group to your own in this section, and could contact them.
Im a student at the university, but Im afraid I dont know of any community service groups, although there are definately some societies which have similar interests (i.e. Oxfam Volunteers).
