Charitable Travel launches hub to encourage holidaymakers to volunteer while away

Social enterprise travel agent Charitable Travel has launched the ‘Big Holiday Help’ – an online hub of volunteering projects available to holidaymakers seeking to give back to the local community during their travels.

The ‘Big Holiday Help’  resource has information about hands-on opportunities to make a positive impact on the community, ecosystem or environment whilst on holiday. Opportunities range from helping with dog walking at an animal shelter in Greece, and joining a beach clean in the Caribbean, to planting trees in Florida or taking part in wildlife conservation monitoring programmes in the Canary Islands.

Melissa Tilling, CEO of Charitable Travel,  which also offers travellers the opportunity to donate 5% of the cost of their holiday to  charity, commented:
