We can help you cover the cost of volunteering overseas
Lattitude Global Volunteering aims to make volunteering overseas accessible to everyone. Our Bursary Scheme is available to applicants from the UK whose financial circumstances would make it difficult to volunteer. If you have particular financial difficulties and need help, we would be delighted to hear from you.
Abbey Paterson who volunteered in Fiji with Lattitude was a recipient of our bursary scheme, she said:
“I am so grateful to have received a £500 bursary from the Lattitude Bursary Scheme as it has allowed me to experience living and volunteering overseas as a community teacher. With out this help I would not have been able to embark on a life changing experience which has shown me how volunteering in a community overseas can be so rewarding and fulfilling. Because of this help I am having the best time of my life.”
For applicants from the UK, we have a number of bursary schemes available. The bursary schemes are designed to help volunteers meet the cost of volunteering overseas. As a registered UK charity, Lattitude Global Volunteering is able to fundraise for projects that help us meet our aims. One of these aims is to make volunteering overseas accessible to everyone.
Due to the way in which we are funded, the Bursary Scheme is only available to British nationals (those with or entitled to a British passport)
