Notes on volunteering for WSE
We ask for a minimum commitment of one day per week for three months for general volunteering. More days may be possible.

We provide a luncheon allowance valued at £3.50 per day if working five or more hours in that day, and refund off-peak travel card expenses (maximum £10 per day) against a receipt/ticket.

Some of the work available is suitable for volunteers to carry out from home.

We regret that we are unable to assist non-UK residents who are planning to volunteer during a short stay in the UK with visa applications, finding accommodation etc. UK based voluntary work placements are not sufficient grounds to meet visa or work permit regulations.

WSE will require two references (verbal or written) and a copy of your current passport.
