Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How much will it cost me for a two-week work trip?

A. We ask all volunteers to raise £350, which is about $550. This will cover their travel from Selsey in the U.K. to Romania and return, their VISA, medical insurance, food and accommodation for the duration of the trip. The money can be paid personally or volunteers can seek sponsorship to cover the cost. Volunteers may like to bring some personal spending money. The cost of a project is varying from £1,000 to £15,000 so any additional fundraising that can be done will be greatly appreciated.

Q. Do I need to speak any other language?
A. No, it is not essential however we have found French to be helpful on many occasions..
Obviously Romanian would be great !!!

Q. Do you fly to Romania?
A. No, we drive, usually in two vehicles that take around 32-36 hours, allowing for some breaks on the way. We would usually be taking materials and supplies out with us.

Q. Do you have to be from the U.K. to go on a trip?
A. No, we have had volunteers from other countries but in addition to their £350 sponsorship they have to pay their own way to the U.K.

Q. Do you accept donations other than money?
A. Yes we do, however they must be agreed beforehand, as paperwork needs to be arranged for every item we take to Romania.

Q. I think I want to go with you on a trip. What do I do next?
A. What you do next is contact us either by e-mail or, regular post to our registered office, (these are listed on the Home Page) and we will tell you everything you need to know and send you an application pack. The application pack must be returned to us by regular post, as we need your signature on several documents that we cannot do via e-mail.
