DFID supports volunteering initiatives through Partnership Programme Arrangements (PPAs) with organisations involved in volunteering and skill-sharing, including VSO, Skillshare International and International Service.
How do I volunteer?
Although DFID provides substantial support to voluntary organisations based within the United Kingdom, we do not recruit volunteers directly. If you are interested in volunteer work, you may wish to try the voluntary organisations listed on the website of BOND – www.bond.org.uk, whose membership comprises many of the principal voluntary development organisations in the UK, or World Service Enquiry – www.wse.org.uk or TimeBank/Intervol – www.intervol.org.uk
