Description of work area:
Charities and voluntary group work will offer lots of opportunities to get involved with a range of charitable organisations. Generally charities welcome volunteers from all backgrounds and nationalities with charity work, charity jobs and charitable organisations; for example you might want to work as a charity shop volunteer.
Volunteer opportunities and community development work is popular – with community based projects and charity organisations you could be in an environmental placement, working in childcare projects (usually indirectly if so) or construction placements. Volunteering projects with community foundations, community programs and development projects are a very rewarding way to spend a internship popular with people seeking challenges.

As I said in the “first week feedback” my work placement was amazing and I really enjoyed working with the staff, I bonded with my coworkers and the rest of the volunteers and it was an amazing experience, the best one this far. Also, if you could please let them know how much I enjoyed working there, I would really appreciate it.
