Volunteering at Greenpeace UK

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for Greenpeace. There are two ways in which you can help us deliver our campaigns; by becoming an active supporter or by volunteering at our office in Islington, London.

We have various different departments here at Greenpeace UK; Marketing, Supporter Services, Active Supporters Unit, Campaigns, Actions, Policy & Solutions, Media, Web Team, Publications, Finance, Human Resources, Reception and Information Systems - all of which occasionally need help from volunteers.

Voluntary opportunities range from helping with administrative tasks, mail outs, data entry, data analysis, translations, design and editing, research projects, assisting with events coordination, painting, sewing, carpentry, and many more. Length of opportunities can be anything from 1 day to 6 months.

If you are interested in volunteering in our office, please complete the volunteer application form and either fax (020 7865 8202), email recruitment@uk.greenpeace.org or post your application form to:

Human Resources Department
Greenpeace
Canonbury Villas
London
N1 2PN

Once received, we will keep hold of your application and inform you of any opportunities which may arise. We aim to place people according to their skills, experience, interests and availability. The more information you provide on the application form, the greater the likelihood of us being able to find an appropriate way to use your skills. We are very fortunate to receive a high level of interest for volunteering in our office, but with only limited opportunities available, this unfortunately means it is not always possible to place everyone that applies.

Please note that all voluntary opportunities in our office are between 10am-6pm Monday to Friday, our office is closed at weekends. Also, to volunteer in our office you must live within easy travelling distance to our office and you must be a minimum of 18 years old. I'm afraid we are unable to provide or help with accommodation.

If you are wishing to volunteer overseas please contact one of our international offices directly - you can use the drop down 'GP Worldwide' menu under the world map on the left to locate the particular office you are interested in. To volunteer on one of our ships, please send your CV to:

Give as much information about your relevant skills and experience as you can and good luck!
