Volunteer in the UK

Help with fundraising

Our volunteers have organised sponsored walks, coffee mornings, bring and buy sales, children's events and concerts. They have run marathons, organised collections in schools and churches, introduced us to new donors, and most importantlytold their friends and business contacts about us. We couldn't do without them. If you would like to help, please do get in touch and we will be glad to offer support. You might also like to visit www.how2fundraise.org, which is full of ideas and advice for volunteer fundraisers.

In particular we would like to hear from you if you know of any companies or organisations which might be able to help us fund new, large-scale projects.

Experienced translators needed

We need occasional help with translating both from Russian and into Russian.

Travelling to St Petersburg?

We are often given items that we need to transport to Russia. If you live in the London area and are planning a trip to St Petersburg, perhaps you can help. If you have room for a coat or a bag of clothes in your suitcase, do contact us.

Volunteer in Russia

There are a variety of projects in St Petersburg and NW Russia which have asked for help from volunteers. These include:

• Teaching English to charity workers and medical staff
• Playing with children in an after-school club and helping with homework
• Visiting elderly people
• Translating and editing English texts for the Early Intervention Institute
• Helping with children’s summer camps (in rural areas)

We can provide placements for 3rd year university Russian students, as well as summer holiday placements. You must be a Russian speaker, able to use your initiative and be sensitive to the needs of our clients. You will be expected to pay for your own travel, food and accommodation. We will always either meet you or talk over the phone in advance to see whether we have a placement that would suit you. We will also be in contact from England through your stay.
