The Wave of Friendship is a volunteer exchange programme which has promotes and supports the exchange of volunteers between Scotland and London by the provision of bursaries to cover travel, accommodation and other expenses.
Volunteers can choose any opportunity that takes place between now and September 2012 that demonstrate the values of the Olympics movement: Friendship, Respect, Excellence, Courage, Determination, Equality and Inspiration. Suitable opportunities are likely to be for a set time, rather than an ongoing commitment, and could include providing support for an event, carrying out an assignment or volunteering for a fixed period of time.
The application process is easy and successful applicants receive bursaries of up to £500 to cover their costs.
We are seeking organisations which would like to participate in the programme by notifying us of volunteering opportunities which would be suitable for the scheme, or by publicising the scheme to their volunteers and supporters and encouraging them to apply to take part in the volunteer exchange programme.
