Student Volunteering Week 2012

Student Volunteering Week 2012: 20th-26th February

Each year across the UK students volunteer more than three million hours of their time to lending a hand in their local communities. Student Volunteering Week is an annual celebration of the size and diversity of that contribution. As the Higher Education landscape undergoes unprecedented change, it is ever more vital that our universities continue to engage closely and effectively with the communities they were built to serve.
