hi there!

are there any members out there who have volunteered in the past or are still currently volunteering?

which organisations should i contact should i wish to offer support as a volunteer?

would love some input from you guys as i'm looking into volunteering but am a little unsure as to how to proceed as this is my first time volunteering in London.

any help would be most appreciated!

thanks!

Hi Nerolife. I also want to volunteer in a British organisation. I would like to improve my English and my abilities in working in projects for companies. I will probably go to Internship In London to be placed in an NGO if I find nothing because I am struggling to find anything!! Have you already done some job researches?

hi Machicouli. well, coz I'm already here, I've gathered that the easiest thing to do, is to walk into charity organisations and volunteering offices and ask if there are any volunteering opportunities. i'll keep you updated on how things go. but yeah, there are internship positions you can apply for

Hi. Well the prob is that I am not in the UK at the moment. I can only contact NGOs by phone or e-mail which makes it harder.
Good luck with your researches!
