What's Volunteering like?
At Corbenic you’ll become part of a lively community where no two days are the same. You’ll work alongside residents in workshops, share meals, explore the beautiful Perthshire countryside, and build friendships that often last long after your time here ends.
You’ll also meet like-minded volunteers from across Europe and beyond – we like to think of Corbenic as a bit of a mini United Nations!
It’s a fun, meaningful, and often life-changing experience where you’ll learn new skills, discover new perspectives, and make memories along the way.
What's life like at Corbenic?
As in all Camphill communities the cultural life is strong and diversity is celebrated, not least through the range of multi-cultural and inter-faith festivals, which are celebrated throughout the year. Many of our cultural activities involve preparation for them with drama, singing and music. There are regular trips to concerts, theatre and the cinema, and occasionally visiting artists, musicians and actors.
You are asked to bring sufficient clothes for winter and summer use and for working out of doors (waterproof clothing is essential) as well as clothing suitable for evening and weekend activities. If you play a musical instrument, it would be appreciated if you bring it with you.
Living Arrangements & travel
As a live-in volunteer, you will be provided with full board and lodging, although you may be required to share a room with another volunteer. You have two days off per week and will receive basic subsistence allowance.
Provided you are of age in your home country and have held a driving licence for 12 months which permits you to drive in the United Kingdom, you will have the use of our dedicated volunteer car! To qualify for driving the car you will have to pass an assessment with a qualified driving instructor which is fully paid for and organised by us!
