Magda graduated last year with an MSc in International Public Health Nutrition and as she didn’t have previous experience of working with communities, she decided to volunteer for charities across London.
“Worldwide the main two health concerns nowadays are malnutrition and obesity. The former is globally rising to pandemic levels and is also closely linked with diabetes. My first choice was to volunteer for Diabetes UK.
“Volunteering for Diabetes UK I am hoping to gain knowledge about fundraising and charitable organisations. I want to improve my communication and liaising skills with organisations in my field of work and study. I would also like to advance my experience of working with different communities by volunteering at many events.”
