Survival relies on the dedication of its committed volunteers, who contribute their time for free, and make so much of our work possible. If you live in or near London, and can commit to helping out regularly in Survival's head office (in EC1), then we would like to hear from you.
Volunteers are welcome in all departments, including press, publications, research and campaigns, outreach and administration. Help is particularly needed with clerical work such as photocopying, data entry, and helping with mailings. This routine work is vital to the smooth running of the organisation.
We are especially interested in long-term volunteers who can commit themselves to work at least one day a week for three months or more, but are grateful for all offers.
If you are not able to come into our office to volunteer, but have particular skills (eg computer skills, graphic design) which you think may be of use to us, please let us know.
