Why I love Volunteer Linking
“The insight I’ve gained into the lives of people in the developing world has been incredible. I feel like I’ve been part of the work”

Give £10 a month – just 33p a day
We’ll use your monthly gift where it’s needed most – ensuring that highly skilled people get to the communities where they can make a difference. And because our volunteers give their time and get by on a small living allowance, it costs VSO just £5.20 a day to keep a volunteer living and working in the field.
