About Us

Student Volunteering Week 2023 is the 22nd year that the national celebration of volunteering has taken place.  This year the week will be taking place from 13th - 17th February 2023

Student Volunteering Week celebrates student volunteering in the following ways:

  1. Improves student wellbeing
  2. Develops students' employability
  3. Contributes positively to the wider and local community life

This is a unique week-long opportunity where the whole of the country will be getting involved. SVW gives you a great platform whether you’re a student, university, college, students’ union, charity or social enterprise, to showcase your innovative projects and events. We hope you use this time to promote student volunteering and share your ideas, best practice and challenges with the rest of the sector.

To find out more about what students all over the country are up to, make sure to follow the Student Volunteering Week social media channels on Twitter and Instagram, and tag us to share your stories.  Our national team, led by the Student Volunteering Network, will be available to offer help to you in running your SVW activities, before, during and after the week.
