Volunteers are an essential part of our organisation and provide a wide range of help, from working in our charity shop, helping run events, to giving a hand with admin in the office and of course going Africa.

 

Volunteering in the UK

Whatever your skills and talents you can help Abaana transform communities in Africa. Join us volunteering at events, in your local church, fundraising or speaking to churches across the UK. Here are some ideas on how you can get involved.

We are looking for people to come and volunteer in our shop in Bangor. If you’d love to spend some spare hours meeting new people and helping a brilliant cause, then get in touch.

 

Volunteering in Uganda

Abaana offer short–term mission trips to Uganda, for individuals and to church groups, schools and businesses, to experience what life is like for countless children, young people and adults alike. A life in which modern–day comforts don’t exist, where many may never have seen a computer or television screen, nor have access to running water or electricity.

Teams offer the opportunity to visit Abaana’s Primary Schools, organise summer schemes, work with street kids through the Street Reach programme, and spend time with children who were formerly living rough on the streets and are now being cared for in our New Life Homes. Witness first–hand the dramatic difference that love, care and shelter can make to a young life.

Of course, there are plenty of opportunities to get your hands dirty too! Impact the country by being part of an exciting development project. You could be involved in building a new school, brick laying or painting. On the job training provided, no experience necessary!
