Not sure where to put this - Looking to volunteer
« on: February 25, 2009, 12:14:31 PM »
Hey guys,

So, have settled into my work schedule here, and it looks like I'll have time free to volunteer here in London, which is something I'd like to do, if possible.  In any rate, does anyone know of any good sites to search for such opportunities?  Back at home, we had something called NYcares, and they had a website where you could search by time, type of task, and region, which was awesome. 

Also, side question, but as this isn't a second job or anything, I would be allowed to do this on my visa, right (T2)? 

Thanks in advance for any/all advice.

Good place to start:

Can't answer your visa question, though.

I am pretty sure the T2 allows this (work permit was ambiguous), but read the rules again to check.

Thanks for the help, everyone.   I looked yesterday and I'm going to sit down in the next couple of days to see what I can regularly schedule.
