    Hey you guys...

    Just need a lil help here; I'm getting way into my volunteering lately, and i'm getting so much satisfaction out of doing my bit, but now I wanna do something really big! :sunglasse
    Any of you guys out there got any info on volunteering organisations/schemes in the Cornwall/Devon region that also offer 'pocket money' or accomodation? My main areas I'd be interested in are enviromental/homeless people/youth etc.

    Hope you can help! :D

    Hellooow.... I'm in Croyde area near Barnstaple in Devon.... So I dunno, i'll look out for you. I know that there's usually great leaflets and magazines for things like that in health shops. Look out for some leaflets, that's what I do. Hehe!

    Love,

    Heya. If you come across anything in that area, if it was possible to let me know I'd be sooo grateful! :) I'm currently not living in that area (well err about three hours away from that area actually, hehe) so it's kinda hard for me to find out what's happening. Thanks! :D

    Hey claire, any idea how long roughly you can stay at one of the woofers farms? And is it all year round? :)

    This looked real interesting, thanks. But unfortunately there were no jobs available in the area I was looking. :(
