Welcome to VSO  

Thank you for speaking to one of our fundraisers and wanting to learn more about VSO and the difference you can make through Sponsor a Volunteer.

Nigerian youth volunteers
VSO's National Youth Engagement Network in Nigeria campaigning on youth participation around elections.

We live in an unfair world.  A world where inequality and injustice are rife. Where millions of lives are blighted by a lack of access to even the most basic healthcare, education and livelihoods. 

It’s not right. It has to change. And with you, it can.

Sponsor a Volunteer gives you an incredibly effective way to make a positive difference to global inequality and injustice – by unlocking the power of people.

VSO works through volunteers who share their unique skills to make the biggest difference to the world’s most marginalised people - those who are left out by society, those living in extreme poverty, or with disability and illness, those who face discrimination and violence for their gender, sexuality or social status. 

Will you sponsor a volunteer today and see first-hand how your donation will help vulnerable and marginalised people change their lives for generations to come?

With your support, our amazing volunteers help people build better lives for generations to come.
