From refugee camps in Uganda to post-conflict areas in the Balkans, economic hardship and social exclusion rob thousands of young people of their childhood.
We believe that every child has the right to play.
WE have suspended recruitment of international volunteers temporarily
Dear volunteer
With the current global outbreak of COVID-19 and the subsequent disruptions to international travel, we are sad to announce the suspension of our international projects.
World at Play prioritises the safety and security of our volunteers, staff and the communities where we work. With this in mind we took the difficult decision to temporarily suspend all current projects based abroad and hope to provide you with a further update as soon as we are able to.
If you are considering applying for one of our international projects in the future please register your details below.
However
We are currently running a project in South Wales, our local response to reintegrating after the Covid-19 Pandemic. If you are interested in getting involved you can register below.

ABOUT WORLD AT PLAY VOLUNTEERING
World at Play enriches lives through sport and play, supporting the development of disadvantaged children through inclusive and transformational play sessions.
For over 16 years, our dedicated volunteers are trained to deliver high-quality sessions designed to teach children teamwork, confidence, social integration, equality, and inclusion.
We work with small teams of volunteers, meaning we are able to provide an unparalleled level of personalised support to our volunteers on their journey - from fundraising at home to life overseas. Meanwhile, our close and well-established partnerships on the ground mean we can remain responsive to young people’s needs.
Our work is consistently praised for the impact it has on both our volunteer and the young people we work with. Hear from our past volunteers and partners direct here.
