Secure your placement

Secure your place with a one-off deposit of £125 to register with Original Volunteers. Once registered you can access all the available placements for 12 months without paying a further fee or deposit to Original Volunteers.
The year starts when you arrive at your first project not when you register and for most projects (see table below) there is no further payment for your accommodation before arrival

This is the easiest and most flexible way to volunteer.
