Welcome to SCAN
SCAN stands for Student Community Action Newcastle and since the 1960's we've been based in the centre of Newcastle helping students and other young people access volunteering opportunities across the North East
SCAN today is a vibrant and lively young person led charity based at Newcastle University that aims to provide a wide variety of quality volunteering opportunities, through running our own community projects and by working with other charitable/community organisations.
SCAN currently offers over 200 volunteering opportunities in the community as well as running a successful programme of young person led projects, and one-off/taster volunteering opportunities.
How do I get involved?
