My time at Railton House has been very important and meaningful. I was able to meet people from different parts of the world and see London from a privileged position. For personal reasons I had to stop my volunteering early and the managers helped me find alternative solutions. Thank you

It was my first volunteering experience with Worldpackers, and I must say it was exactly what I was looking for. The tasks are detailed and organized, your free time is respected, and Isabel, Sana, and Franco will make you feel at home. The accommodation provided is amazing. You get meals every day, and you can also cook your own if you want to. Lots of love for everybody at Railton House; I will definitely come back and recommend this experience to everybody. I made friendships for life, and I get to see a lot of London with my volunteer friends. Until next time 🥰🥰

Railton house is located in the city center, close to a lot of sightseeing areas. One month wasn’t enough to discover this large and eclectic city. The staff is welcoming, always checking on you and they truly care about the volunteers. I spent a lot of time with the others volunteers, we were just 3 girls in a big room with a lot of the storage. We had the breakfast and 1 meal a day, It’s also possible to save a second helping of food for later. However, according to me, some of the residents don’t respect the daily cleaning work.
Thank you Franco, Isabel and Sana !! :)
