LONDON GREEN CAMP

CODE: VAP UK-04

Work:

BACKGROUND: A group of 6 international volunteers are invited to spend 10 days in
South London. But it won’t feel as if you are in a city: volunteers will stay at a Scout
Centre in the midst of woodland with no houses in sight! Dulwich is a pleasant, quiet
corner of London.
WORK: Volunteers will work on different environmental projects. At the London Wildlife
Trust completing practical conservation tasks in the beautiful Sydenham and Dulwich
Woods, working alongside local volunteers. Work will be physical and it will be cold and
possibly wet so please come prepared with waterproof clothing and good boots. London
Wildlife Trust is an urban nature conservation charity working to improve London's green
spaces for people and wildlife. Volunteers will also be working in nearby Dulwich Park with
the local authority parks department.
ACCOMMODATION: South London Scout Centre has bunk beds and central heating.
Sleeping bags and working clothes and shoes will be needed. The group will cook meals at
the centre.
ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE: Volunteers will arrive on Sunday, November 24th and
depart on Monday, December 20nd. If you want to visit London or go shopping arrange to
arrive earlier or stay after the camp.
LEISURE: Visits to local projects of interest will be organised. There will be a free
weekend when there will be a chance to visit London.
HOSTING FEE: It is expensive to stay in London so we have to charge a hosting fee of
£160 GBP for the 10 days. This will pay for the accommodation and a basic budget for
food. The fee should be paid upon arrival in cash.
