The Environmental Mission
We are committed to doing all we can to preserve the environment. We are aware of the detrimental
impact of international flights and make every attempt to be carbon neutral. That's why for every
person volunteering abroad with us, we plant three oak trees.
We have sent nearly two thousand volunteers abroad and now have a woodland of over 6000 trees
overlooking our Somerset office – and we look forward to planting many more!
In addition, all staff travel is kept to a minimum. All paper and other office products are
recycled.
Please read our Environmental Credentials for more
information.
The Moral Mission
Outreach International supports projects that genuinely help important
environmental and humanitarian causes. These are not projects that hit the
international press; they are small, grassroot initiatives that focus on the
needs of individuals. We believe that you can make a difference to the lives of
these people and that you will receive as much as you give. You should come back
to the UK after volunteering abroad with a fresh outlook on life and new found
wisdom. Your experiences may last for just a few months - but the memories will
stay with you forever.
"In just a short period of time I have really grown to love Nepal, for its scenery, people and its wildlife. I really feel I have made some genuine friends in Nepal, In many ways English people have a lot to learn from the Nepali people's attitudes and way of life, I certainly did."
Charlotte Felton, Orphanage volunteer, Nepal
