From Sutton to the world: The local company helping thousands volunteer overseas
A Sutton-based company is making a global impact, quietly supporting life-changing volunteer projects in more than 30 countries.
Volunteering Solutions, headquartered in Sutton and now with offices across the world, has helped over 18,000 people take part in meaningful, community-led programs abroad since launching in 2007.
From teaching English in Ghana to wildlife conservation in Costa Rica or supporting medical clinics in Nepal, the organisation connects students, professionals and career-breakers with ethical placements that make a real difference.
Unlike many commercial “voluntourism” providers, Volunteering Solutions works directly with grassroots NGOs and local organisations to ensure their programs are affordable, impactful and aligned with community priorities.
“When I started Volunteering Solutions, I wanted to make international volunteering more accessible, transparent and ethical,” says Saurabh Sabharwal, founder and director. “It’s incredible to see what’s grown from that vision - we’re helping people from around the world make a genuine difference in communities that welcome them.”
With growing interest in meaningful travel and ethical volunteering, Volunteering Solutions continues to expand its global reach, from its base in South London to projects across Asia, Africa and Latin America.
