About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Glebe House is a residential and Day activity centre, owned by Harmony Community Trust, near Strangford in Northern Ireland. It was partly set up in 1975 by Irish and British members of Service Civil International. Since 1975 Harmony Community Trust has been practically and tenaciously working for a fair, inclusive society that respects and cherishes each person s humanity, dignity, aspirations, ideas and needs. One where each person can determine and re-create their own identity, rather than conform to sectarian, national, ethnic or social stereotypes, myths or stigmas. Glebe House has held annual SCI International Workcamps since 1975.

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers will be tidying and cleaning up the centre, helping to set up and run stalls and prepare activities for the Glebe House Annual Open Day; they will then help to clean up and put things away. There will also be some work on the Community Garden. Local volunteers will assist with all the activities.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will stay in the accommodation block at Glebe House. Bedding is provided, and volunteers do not need to bring sleeping bags. Volunteers are asked to help with cooking and cleaning tasks. There is free Wi-Fi access at the centre. VSI is not able to provide accommodation before or after the project.
