Abstract
The first Student Volunteering Week, in February 2001, was billed as a ‘Student Community Action Week’, as most community volunteering undertaken by students at that time was organised through Student Community Action (SCA) groups. The Week was promoted by Student Volunteering UK, an independent infrastructure charity supporting a network of 180 local groups representing 25,000 student volunteers. Since 2001, Student Volunteering Week has taken place in the last full week of February each year and continues to be celebrated by a similar mix of high profile national events and local level activities.
