Can I volunteer from abroad?

Unfortunately, we’re unable to proceed with your application, as all Bookmark volunteers must currently reside in the UK.

This requirement is part of our safer recruitment process, which places the safety of children at the centre of everything we do. Based on guidance from our safeguarding consultants and the NSPCC, the charity has made the decision to only accept volunteers who permanently reside in the UK.

We are continuously reviewing our processes to ensure we offer the best support to our schools and the children we work with.
