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 community, supporting sustainbility and local engagement.
The University of Bath has a culture of volunteering, enabling students to engage with meaningful opportunities and contribute to their local community. Volunteering gives students CV-boosting skills and has been shown through research to improve positive mental wellbeing.
Here are our project groups for the 2025-26 academic year:
