Why volunteer with Christian Aid?
You bring time, enthusiasm and your unique perspective to our work.
Christian Aid offers support, training and a chance to develop your skills.
Above all, you'll get the chance to put your commitment into action and make a real difference to some of the world's poorest people.
We welcome volunteers all year round in our UK regional offices and at our head office in London, whether you have just a few hours, days or even a whole year to spare.

How do I apply?
Use our searchable database to see if any of our offices near you have a vacancy that suits you, and apply online.
Once we've received your application, we'll get in touch and may invite you to an informal interview. You'll also need to give us the names of two referees. If we feel the volunteering opportunity is not right for you, we'll let you know.
Where volunteering involves contact with children or young people, you'll need to be checked with the CRB (or national equivalent).
And some important info…
Christian Aid welcomes volunteers from all sections of the community. We do our best to treat everyone equally.
Please note that all our volunteering opportunities are based in the UK. We welcome volunteers from outside the UK, but we can't help with travel arrangements, visas or accommodation.
