want to volunteer responsibly and ethically? this can be challenging! which organisations are ethical and which aren't? people and places is here to address this we identify local needs and match them to your skills to create an individual placement just for you you will work with – not instead of – local people - share and learn we need to put the right people in the right places – that’s our job!
Not an easy question to answer, because we work with each individual volunteer to learn about their skills, experience and goals. Each and every individual placement is a custom-made, bespoke match between the volunteer’s personal goals and the needs of the project community. We do not invent placements – you can be confident that your work will be contributing to a real need as identified by the projects themselves, with our support. You have goals and the project has goals … our job is to match them. Belo
