We want you to know you are in good hands which is why we are leading the development of professional standards in international volunteering assignments in Scotland. We are also pushing for greater transparency in the sector - for the last 3 years we have worked in partnership with TimeBank on the Intervol project, to help people distinguish between different organisations and engage in international volunteering in the way which best suits them.

We consider ourselves experts in the field with 7 years experience, sector leading advisors and partners, playing active roles within relevant sector networks and hosting the free 'Ask an Expert' service.
