WorldWide Volunteering is a unique ‘search and match’ database with over 1200 volunteer organisations and 350,000 placements throughout the UK and in 214 countries worldwide.
WorldWide Volunteering is a non-profit making organisation whose aim is to make it easier for people of all ages to volunteer. They do this by providing instant access to information about the widest range of volunteering opportunities throughout the UK and worldwide.
The WWV database enables volunteers to build an on-screen profile of their ideal volunteer placement which is then matched against the requirements of over 1400 organisations with more than 1,000,000 placements each year throughout the world.
Schools, colleges, universities, careers and connexions services, libraries and volunteer bureaux subscribe to the database enabling more and more people to experience truly life-changing opportunities for personal growth through giving their time to worthwhile projects and good causes.
It is a three way phenomenon that works for everyone - volunteers, the organisations and individuals whom they help, and ultimately society as a whole.
