At this time our service has no cost. However we do invite teams to make a Koha towards the organisation they are volunteering at to acknowledge the time/resource that they have put into hosting your group. Please let us know if you are keen to do this and we can support you to facilitate this.

Once the project is confirmed, you will receive details including any special clothing requirements.

The host organisation will make a decision regarding the weather. If it is an outdoor project, they may have an alternative they can offer onsite, or we will reschedule your project.

Your Group will need to arrange its own transport to and from the project site.

Host organisations will usually provide tea and coffee making facilities, however you will be advised once the project is confirmed. You will need to bring your own snacks and food unless otherwise specified.
