Voluntours - Responsible and ethical volunteering
Introduction

We are a multiple award winning volunteer placement organisation.


Our commitment is to provide both the community and volunteer with a mutually benefiting experience which is transparent, sustainable, ethical and above all responsible.


Ultimately you, the volunteer, decides who will receive your hard earned money, but it vital that organisations provide responsible and ethical programmes too.


Look beyond marketing- speak when selecting your volunteer organisation. Look at the way the organisation presents and markets itself, and what’s in it for the community.


Responsible volunteers choose responsible companies

Testimonials

Monica, 30, USA: Marnie and Jeremy are both very open people and are willing to assist in any way that will make your experience easier. They are willing to tailor the experience to individual needs. I really enjoyed the fact that you took the time to evaluate individual skills brought in by the volunteers and individualized the volunteering experience to meet their needs. I went there not expecting to utilize many of my nursing skills, but was pleasantly surprised and I really enjoyed working in conjunction with Sisters of Mercy.
