The Institute for Volunteering Research and Student Hubs are initiating research on the history of students, volunteering and social action in the UK. Outcomes may include a literature review, a one-day workshop, a witness seminar, policy commentaries, networking opportunities and a short pictorial history of the movement.

We would welcome expressions of interest from all those interested: historians, research students, social researchers, practitioners, policymakers and students.
