Over the past 20 years Student Community Action Plus, founded and supported by former University of Bristol students and volunteers, has been proud to support Student Community Action (SCA) and later BSU Volunteering, to run both new projects and to enable novel extensions to current projects by offering financial support and advice.

During this time SCA Plus has issued 45 grants to 16 different SCA / BSU Volunteering projects totalling over £10,000.

In response to changing needs, the Trustees of SCA Plus have decided to wrap up operations and make a legacy grant to BSU Volunteering University of Bristol student-led volunteering projects over the next 3 years.

On behalf of those who have benefited the Trustees of SCA Plus wish to thank the volunteers and staff that have made these projects happen over the years and to the SCA and University of Bristol Students’ Union alumni whose generous donations have made them possible.
