Why choose these volunteering holidays?

There holidays try to help you make a real impact with your work. These placements are designed for people who can only give a short time and so are geared towards making the most of the time available. Even if you are only there for a week, these projects will ensure that in that week you really make a difference.

How do we pick our projects?

The charities and groups we choose to work with are usually very small and local and the volunteer projects you will be on could not occur without your help.

These are also projects we picked to make sure that you, and the effort and time you put in is needed more than the cash in your pocket. These projects should all work to make sure that you make the biggest impact possible.

What to expect?

Different projects have very different situations, some will involve volunteering for the whole day. Others will have only half day projects with the rest of the time free. 

Accommodation can also be vary varied, therefore it is important to decide what you want and find out what the placements involve to avoid nasty surprises!
