Santander, official sponsor of Student Volunteering Week 2010, recognises the importance of student volunteering for the company and the community. And, it is not alone as businesses all over the country support Student Volunteering Week 2010.

"To build a successful and rewarding career today, you need a rounded skill set, of which academic, or technical, knowledge is just one part. Volunteering is a great way for students to gain the kind of practical experience and life skills that are highly valued by employers, while positively contributing to great causes." Sky Chief Executive Jeremy Darroch.
