From 2008 to 2024 Cambridge Hub worked with incredible students and our amazing local community to mainstream student social action. Our programmes empowered students to engage with their local community and make change.
Although Cambridge Hub is now closed, there are still lots of opportunities to engage in student social action through the University and in the local community. Check our overview of Cambridge social action activities to find opportunities for university students to volunteer.
I really enjoyed it. I thought it was a great programme and I’m really glad I participated. I’d say it was the best extracurricular programme I’ve done at Cambridge.
