History

Student Hubs started back in 2007 with four individuals setting up Oxford Hub in order to connect like-minded students with each other and with opportunities to take action. They soon realised that there were too few opportunities for students to get involved with, so Oxford Hub started supporting students to set up their own volunteering projects.

The immense success Oxford Hub enjoyed led to the creation of Student Hubs, a national charity, and the development of Hubs at other universities. Over the years Hubs have been created in 9 other universities. 2014 saw the launch of the 10th and newest Hub at Kingston University! Over the past 6 years our vision at Kingston Hub is a student body which engages with social and community challenges throughout their time at university and further into their careers. Kingston Hub's mission is to support students to become active citizens and to achieve positive change both now and in the future.

We are dedicated to providing multiple opportunities and the support to engage with the local community in areas that you believe in most.
