The most important aspect of volunteering is being available. Even if you are only available for a short period in a week/weekend and are genuinely interested to make the best use of that time, kindly speak to our volunteer coordinators and we will try our best to find an area or a project on which you can contribute.

For most volunteer roles, specific experience and skill sets are more important than formal qualifications. So, if you are able to do a certain type of work, even without formal qualifications, please do get in touch.
