Firstly, decide what sort of thing you want to volunteer for (i.e. conservation project, charity work, helping with children - personally, I volunteer at the local hospital radio station).
Then, have a look online to see if they have a website, or look in the local paper. You could even go to your local volunteer centre. If you find somewhere you like the look of, write to them expressing your interest, and TELL them straight away why you think you would be good. They will probably be only too glad to have a new member.
Good luck with whatever you choose!

Hi friend,
I know some volunteering organisations in U.K. I was a volunteer for one year.
You will get more information from these websites.
1) www.csv.org.uk
2) www.volunteering.org.uk
3) www.employeevolunteering.org.uk
4) www.volunteeringengland.info
5) www.volunteerscotland.org.uk
6) www.btcv.org
There are other organisations that recruits volunteers abroad. But you need to pay for food, accomodation and travel. Also there are volunteering opportunities with people who have learning disabilities in L'arche and also in Camphill U.K. You can work as a live in Assistant.
Hope this information might be helpful for you
Thanks

Most local authorities have Volunteer Co-ordinators. Check with your Town Hall.

You have to reach out to the organisation you would like to be involved with. If you don't know, then think about who/what you would like to work with - children, old people, animals. You can also look online at your local council website and see what's on offer there. I have just started getting involved with Home-Start (look up their website if you don't know what it is!) www.home-start.org.uk

There are 100's of groups that value volunters....ask your local CAB or (if you have one) Volunteerr Bureau.
For some positions you may need a CRB check

Depends what you want to do. I worked at Oxfam for a while - just walked in and asked if they needed anyone. Was great fun - met lots of people.
