If you have a question relating to volunteering, check out our volunteering frequently asked questions. This includes details about volunteering opportunities for under 18s.

Visa sponsorship

We don't sponsor visas for volunteers because the activities we offer don't meet the criteria for visa sponsorship.  

We do offer researcher visa sponsorship
