Job/volunteering opportunities

Because of the recent pandemic- I didn't get to complete my work experience and as a result I have no experience when going into uni applications. Where is a valuable place to start working/volunteering that is rewarding?
Do you need any specific experience for your uni course? Also whereabouts are you based?

A couple days ago I started volunteering with the JourneyMakers scheme, basically reassuring people about travelling when they're anxious about the pandemic and handing out face masks. I think there are some stations in london participating so you could have a google if you're interested😊
