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.
Expect a genre-spanning mix of established names and breaking talent, as artists take to the stage at venues including The Harley, Queens Social Club, Plug, O2 Academy and Skate Central’s roller rink, where the shows come complete with skates. 2016’s lineup will feature UK hip-hop pioneer Roots Manuva, post-punk icons Gang of Four, electronic pop upstart Shura and BBC Sound of 2016 longlister Loyle Carner.
Sheffield Hallam students can get tickets for £14 (normally £25). Just enter your University email address when buying your ticket.
Coming up is the fantastic Work While You Study Fair from the Careers team!
If you fancy earning some extra cash while you study, getting some vital experience to get you ahead of the pack and meeting some top employers then this is the event for you.
Every year the fair helps students get in contact with employers looking for motivated and enthusiastic people like you: what opportunities will you find? Only one way to find out!
The fair will be held in the Careers and Employability Centre (just outside the main entrance to the Owen building) on February 24. Check out the Careers Central site on shuspace for more details.
