PSA Student Volunteers

Did you know that 49% of students volunteered in the 2009/2010 academic year, giving just over three million hours to their communities and contributing an estimated £42 million to the economy. This Student Volunteering Week we are celebrating the successes of our PSA students, who have dedicated themselves to volunteering to enhance their student experience, and their employability.

If you are interested in volunteering then our five PSA students may just give you some inspiration!
