Volunteering with Lattitude – a look to the year ahead


2014 has just begun, but already we are looking forward to an exciting year of volunteering overseas. For many budding volunteers, 2014 will have been marked on the calendar for several months as the year that they depart from the UK and begin their adventure overseas. For others, volunteering is still an option being considered. Whether you are pondering whether to volunteer or not, of if you’ve already committed to a place and you’d just like to see what Lattitude volunteers in other countries will be up to this year, here is a break-down of all our volunteer departures planned for 2014.
