Working with communities in the UK

We believe practical skills, experience and opportunities can make a real difference to people and communities across the UK. That’s why we’re developing our work here, creating opportunities for people to learn new skills through volunteering and sharing our knowledge and resources with charities and organisations that could benefit from practical support.

From getting involved at our workshops and events to working alongside organisations supporting people towards employment and self-employment, we’re keen to build connections and find practical ways to help. Our UK work is about bringing people together, sharing skills and making good use of the resources and experience we have built up over many years.
