I have just been back through the blog whilst the weather is cold. I get enquiries through VSO about my experience from new volunteers. I have added a few bits about the VSO process and done a bit of housekeeping.
I have put retrospective comment or info in italics I hope that helps, I will continue to add as I think of things.
I hope any new volunteers find the information useful. A big part of the experience is finding out for yourself and everyone is different.
I cannot really go into detail about my placement other than to give general information and to say I had a great time and that I am currently on the VSO books looking to go again for a short term placement.
I am still in touch with lots of the people I met both from VSO and other voluntary organisations.
