As the prices of our volunteer holidays and packages are in GBP, those of you overseas paying in dollars, euro’s etc get more for your money! So while the pound is at it’s lowest, you can pick up some bargain opportunities and holidays!
Better still, if you are overseas from the mainland UK, your money will stretch further while you’re here, as accomodation, food, travel etc. all become cheaper.
Let’s look at an example of how much you could save by volunteering in the UK today!
Volunteer for hands on conservation projects from £60 - £90 (2-7 days) ex flights
On our wildlife habitat conservation holidays, you can get involved in a variety of different activities from scrub clearance through to haymaking, or removing poisonous ragwort so that cattle can graze and thus maintain traditional management regimes.... more information
At it’s cheapest the above opportunity offers 2 days volunteering in the UK for £60, which is great if you’re only looking for a short break, but if you’re looker for something longer, that is also available. For the sake of this comparison, we will be looking at the cost of the 2 day package.
Savings on UK Volunteer Packages When Paying in USD
On the 1st Feb 2008 £60 would have cost you $119.30 USD while on the 1st Feb 2009 £60 would cost you $87.26 USD - thats a saving of $32.04 USD!!!
Savings on UK Volunteer Packages When Paying in EUROs
On the 1st Feb 2008 £60 would have cost you 80.31 EUROs while on the 1st Feb 2009 £60 would cost you 68.12 EUROs - thats a saving of 12.19 EUROs
So there’s some great savings to be had just booking your volunteer package as an overseas voluntourist, but when you take into consideration that this could include full accomodation and catering, this really is a bargain. Although as accomodation and catering varies on this package you may find yourself having to buy food, but even then you’re getting a bargain!
