We are an ATOL registered company.

Have the celebrities climbing Mount Kilimanjaro inspired you to take up a challenge to raise money for a worthy cause like Comic Relief? Or maybe watching Slumdog Millionaire, set in India, has opened your eyes to the extreme poverty of the world and makes you want to make a difference?

Why not take a look at our wide selection of departures worldwide, and get involved so you can make a difference to those who desperately need it.

As our name suggests, we are a travel company with a difference! Sometimes known as "voluntourism", we are a tour operator that helps people from all over the world combine the comfort and relaxation of a two week holiday with great accommodation and sightseeing, with time spent volunteering in the host destination. We offer unique opportunities to work alongside local people on international development projects and volunteer programs in host countries in Asia, Africa and South America.

We also offer charity challenges with a difference! As well as the traditional physical charity fund raising challenge - such a trek or a long-distance cycle ride - we unusually add in the opportunity for volunteer work on much needed community-based development projects in the developing world, thus raising funds for your chosen charity

Further information about us and our holidays is available on the Frequently Asked Questions section.
