Student Volunteering Week

Took place from 11-15 February. We set you a challenge at the start of the week to see if we could get pledges of 1,000 volunteering hours and we reached it in three days, hours pledged in total reached 1963 which is amazing! Thank you to everyone who helped us to acheive this.

We organised lots of activities during the SVW from Make A Difference Days to a Volunteering Fair and lots more besides.
