About World of Difference

Imagine spending time making a difference working for your dream charity and getting paid. That's what the World of Difference UK programme is all about. Over the years we've helped hundreds of people bring their skills and experience to the charities of their choice.

The World of Difference UK programme gives 500 people the chance to work for a UK charity of their choice. As well as the full-time two months' placements, this year people can consider a part-time placement over a four month period (minimum of 15 hours per week).

Last year's winners started their placements in March, and have donated themselves to charities all over the UK. They've lent their considerable expertise to diverse causes like children and young people, the environment, animal welfare, poverty relief, health and the arts.

To see exactly what past winners have been doing to make a world of difference, take a look at our previous winners’ page where they've been blogging about their experiences.
