Joining Up and Costs

No skills or experience are needed to volunteer on a Group AidCamp.  The only requirements are that you are 18 years or over, in good health, enthusiastic, and culturally sensitive.  There is no upper age limit and people from all backgrounds are welcome to volunteer.

A Registration Fee is needed to reserve your place on an AidCamp and it covers your food at the project site, all accommodation and ground transport. In addition to this fee you will also be required to provide a Minimum Donation. The minimum donation guarantees that you are able to participate in the project.

Registration Fee = £300 (£311 if paying by card online)

Minimum Donation = £795 (£821 if paying by card online)

The registration fee covers all accommodation during the AidCamp, food while you are at the project base, all ground transport between the collection point and the project and back and during the AidCamp, and scheduled itinerary costs.

At least 66% of the minimum donation will be used directly for the implementation of the aid project itself, the remainder being used to fund further research trips, outreach work and the administration of the charity.  In addition, 100% of any donation(s) above the minimum will go directly to the project.

You may apply to join a Group AidCamp directly, over the Internet, or by post.  To apply for a place on an AidCamp please fill in the application form and send it to us with your registration fee. Please attach a recent passport style (head and shoulders) colour photograph.

A complete application consists of:
• a completed application form;
• a recent passport style (head and shoulders) colour photograph (not necessary for return volunteers, unless you don't like the one we've already got of you!);
• the registration fee, which may be paid by either a UK cheque written in British Pounds Sterling and drawn on a UK bank (note that we cannot accept "Charity Cheques" for the registration fee) or, for a little extra, so that we receive the correct amount after processing costs, by credit or debit card.
