Other opportunities
Do you have a spare day? You might have a day of volunteering leave you can take from work, a break between studies, or even a free evening to help out at an event
We welcome people of all ages to come and volunteer with us at our offices in London, at our volunteer centres around the country, or at events when they occur. Sometimes we know these dates or events well in advance, but sometimes we need your quick response.
On a given week we might ask you to make green hearts for our climate campaign, record a voiceover for us, or do some translation. We might ask you to write an online/print article. In an emergency, we might ask you to raise awareness and ask for donations on social media.

Expenses for volunteers
