voluntary work

[helenmh]

Can anyone recommend any organisations offering the chance of voluntary work. I was quite interested in one called link up which was involved with adult literacy and gave you the chance to take a qualification in teaching adults.Something that would fit into school hours/holidays.
thanks

Your area should have an organisation called an Association of Voluntary Services, you should be able to get the number from the council. Most of them run a volunteer bureau and can help you find an interesting voluntary job. Good luck! Some (not many!) even pay childcare while you volunteer!

Thanks both of you for your ideas

stupidgirl, I'm glad you found it useful.

I work for a Council for Voluntary Services with a Volunteer Bureau attached so I see lots of voluntary organisation info pass across my desk every day!

Many volunteer bureaus upload their vacancies to Do-It.

HelenMH, I had an email today about adults and literacy I think. Didn't have time to look at it properly but if I remeber tomorrow I'll check again.
