Volunteer Work
All of the international volunteer agencies that you may have heard of back home operate in the UK, plus some. Those that in particular are seeking volunteer workers include: Oxfam, Red Cross, and Amnesty International. For non-charitable volunteer work, there are a number of options. For those with a penchant for history, the National Trust offer working holidays for those willing to pay for the privelege, while the Council for British Archaelology offers positions on digs (again for a fee).
