Does your passion lie with campaigning to make a difference to the society that we live in, not only today but also for the future? Do you want to work for an organisation that helps disadvantaged people? Then an apprenticeship in the charity and volunteering sector could be the perfect opportunity for you. This sector, also known as the voluntary sector, consists of a range of charities and organisations that exist to help the local, national and, in some cases, the international community.

Examples of such organisations include Macmillan Cancer Support, Children in Need, Comic Relief, Unicef and Oxfam. As well as the large charities, over 50% of the sector consists of small organisations that help the local community. For example there may be a small organisation in your area that is helping to regenerate the community, or providing services for disadvantaged people.
