Application Procedure

Read through the opportunities carefully, decide what projects interest you, take note of any dates that may be specified, and whether there is availability on the project. Also read through the travel and accommodation section to see if it is practical for you to come up and volunteer.

When you have found a project you would like to volunteer for and followed the links to find out more about that project, please fill in the application form. When it comes to filling in dates of availability, please be as flexible as possible, especially on the research projects as these tend to fill up quickly.

If you have trouble with this online application form, please contact the Volunteer Co-ordinator, stating which project interests you, then we will send out an application form to you separately.

There are some projects which require volunteers year-round, with the summer months requiring larger numbers of volunteers. Due to the high level of interest in volunteering and our need, as a small charity, to keep administrative costs down, we are sometimes unable to acknowledge receipt of your application, or inform you if you have not been successful.

Please don't be disheartened if you are not successful as competition is fierce. All applications are kept on file so please feel free to contact us if you are still interested several months after making your initial application.
