As COVID-19 (coronavirus) restrictions begin to ease, our shops are starting to reopen. That means we are adding more volunteer opportunities every day. If you can't find an opportunity near you, please check back in a few weeks for the latest news. 

Thank you for your support and we look forward to welcoming you as a volunteer very soon.

If you have any questions about an existing application or about volunteering, please email volunteersupport@savethechildren.org.uk.

Brian Stockdale, Treasurer of our Preston Fundraising Branch, said: "Walking seemed a perfect way to help raise much needed funds for the work of Save the Children. It's 2,786 miles to Syria and my personal challenge is to cover at least 200 miles every month."

Volunteering Abroad

Unfortunately we do not send volunteers from the UK to any of our overseas programmes. In line with our aim of encouraging self-sufficiency and building skills locally, we employ national staff and involve volunteers wherever possible.
