Student Volunteering Week takes place from Monday 7 February to Sunday 13 February, and offers a chance for students to discover volunteering opportunities. The Pioneering Care Partnership (PCP) is proud to deliver projects and services that make a difference in local communities, with much of the work not possible without the support of volunteers.
Volunteering is a great way to boost your CV, gain skills, meet people and try something new.
