Volunteering Holidays

Taking the opportunity to go on a voluntary holiday can be a massively rewarding experience that truly gives something back to the world.

With an ever-increasing range of volunteer holidays available across the world, it can be hard to know which are actually providing a valuable service to the natural world or the communities in which volunteering takes place. Organisations such as the International Volunteer Programs Association offer advice to would be volunteers and helps to distinguish genuinely beneficial volunteering breaks from those that are not.

Volunteering covers a huge range of areas, and you can really do your part to help the environment, be it conserving dolphins in Greece or simply learning about how to go green in Wales, whilst enjoying wonderful scenery - and maybe making new friends along the way.

Featured below we list a selection of great volunteering holidays, all accessible by train and ferry.
