The aim of the Toynbee Hall Residential Volunteer (RV) Programme is to bring together a diverse group of people committed to voluntary action and support them in their personal development as volunteers. The Programme provides a unique opportunity for a small community of 15 volunteers to live on-site in one of the most vibrant and multicultural areas of London. RVs are encouraged to work alongside our experienced staff and volunteers and become involved in our innovative social action programmes working with the poorest communities to improve conditions in the East End of London.
Residential Volunteers come to live and volunteer at Toynbee Hall for one year from September to August. Their roles vary greatly from conducting social research to working with young people. What they have in common is their commitment to voluntary action and desire to change the world.
Their rent is fully funded or significantly subsidised so they can spend, depending on the role, between 6 and 30 hours per week volunteering. They live in two spacious flats with a shared living room, kitchen, bathrooms and a roof terrace. They also have access to Toynbee Hall's facilities, including a library, offices, computers. Residential Volunteers gain the unique experience of living in a volunteer community, as well as great work and life experience. Toynbee Hall beneifts from their time, passion and skills.
