Welcome to VSO UK

Since 1958 we've been sending volunteers to fight global poverty by sharing their skills and experience with people in developing countries. As a direct result of our work, there are now women and men able to make a living, children getting a quality education, AIDS orphans being looked after in their own community and disabled people living full lives.
