V Team is the student volunteering group of the Students' Union. We are committed to providing a range of different ways to get involved in volunteering with the local and wider community.
It's FREE to join!
The University of Bath has a culture of volunteering, enabling students to engage with meaningful opportunities and contribute to their local community. Volunteering also gives students CV-boosting skills and has been shown through research to improve positive mental wellbeing.
V Team's aim is to build relationships between students and local residents through compassionate, inclusive and sustainable activities that focus on making improvements locally.
