As part of Volunteers' Week (1-7 June), the annual celebration of the work of UK volunteers, Oxford Hub: Student Volunteers are holding a series of events. If you are interested in volunteering, come along to one of our taster sessions in conservation, homeless and youth sectors. If you'd like to volunteer regularly in the next academic year, come to an information session and apply for a CRB check. Also, if you've finished your exams, why not donate your used textbooks to the Petnica Science Centre in Serbia?
