Student Volunteering Week takes place between the 22nd and 28th February 2016. Sheffield Hallam Students’ Union Volunteering have organised a range of opportunities to get our students out in the community as well as some exciting activities to celebrate the great year they’ve had so far!
They’re aiming to get our students putting in 300 hours of volunteering across the week – can you help them reach their target?

Outlines is a brand new, one-day festival dreamed up by the brains behind Tramlines to add a dose of winter festival fun to some of Sheffield’s best venues.
