What is Volunteering?
Welcome to our information page on volunteering, you will find information and links here which will help you to volunteer in the UK. Volunteering is a really useful way to learn about working in the UK and to meet people in work settings and it is also a great way to make friends and meet new people. There is information here on different organisations who can help you find volunteering opportunities. There is also language practice and keywords you would need to understand if you want to volunteer. Scroll through the different sections to find what you need.
