Inspire Volunteering is part of the FutureSense group, which works with over 100 non-profit organisations to support community development across the world.

The FutureSense group coordinates volunteers and raises funds to support overseas partners and volunteer programmes through its UK-registered charity, the FutureSense Foundation.

The Foundation targets education, child welfare, livelihoods and other selected areas as a means to address a range of development issues. Charity fundraising is a central component of the Foundation’s work and allows it to support those volunteering abroad and to invest in underprivileged individuals and communities as it works towards:

• Improving education
• Relieving poverty
• Helping create sustainable and secure livelihoods
• Improving the transfer of vocational and entrepreneurial skills
• Addressing issues related to health and HIV/AIDS
• Promoting child welfare
• Empowering people living with disabilities
• Enabling voluntary participation and cultural exchange

The funds that the FutureSense Foundation provides are distributed in a number of ways. They can be invested into large-scale projects that improve school infrastructures and community centres, or they can assist individuals more directly, through tuition fee grants and macro-business programmes.

As an Inspire volunteer abroad you will be helping the FutureSense Foundation to achieve its development goals and by raising funds to support your trip you can continue to make a positive impact even after you return.
