Student Volunteering Week (SVW)

Nottingham Trent Volunteering celebrate a whole week of volunteering as part of Student Volunteering Week (SVW) traditionally taking place each Spring. During the week we will be putting on events and activities that will reach all three NTU campuses. The week gives all students the perfect opportunity to give volunteering a try.
