  Aimed at teenagers this is a guide to volunteering in the United Kingdom. It describes what you can get out of it, choosing the right job, making the first contact, funding and rights. The main directory section provides the names and addresses of all major volunteering organisations in the UK as well as others that are less well known and offer more unusual opportunities. Organised under key areas of interest, this guide covers work with animals, children, the elderly, human rights, people with disabilities, the environment and international aid. It includes who to contact in your locality, the expected commitment, age restrictions, jobs on offer and individual and group opportunities.
