Student Volunteering Week is a national week, led by the Student Volunteering Network, that takes place across the UK. Universities and schools across the country step up to take part in the week, organising opportunities or events to encourage their students to volunteer and help their local communities.

Most of the incredible work we do wouldn't be possible without the wide range of volunteers that give their time to SUBU programmes. From Student Reps and Part Time Officers to our Club, Society and Nerve Committee members, student volunteers have an incredible impact on the education experience and community here at BU.

A student recently told us that “I always find volunteering gives you something back. Whether it’s a feeling of doing something good or an opportunity to make new friends, it's always worthwhile.” Beyond this you gain useful skills, it looks good on your CV, which may help you to find placements and/or post-graduate jobs. Some of our students go on to work for the charities that they have volunteered for.
