About
Concordia is a charity based in Brighton, England. Our mission is to support people to develop skills and gain experiences so that they can thrive. We run programmes that change lives and nurture global citizens who care about each other, their local communities and the world.
We are part of a global community – we work with partners and people from all over the world. All our projects are impactful – whether they are just up the road from us or on the other side of the world. We do this by working with local communities delivering programmes that respond to local needs.
Concordia was founded in 1943 to recruit volunteer labour to encourage peace and reconciliation in the aftermath of the Second World War. Since then, Concordia has supported around three-quarters of a million people to undertake incredible programmes that support local communities all over the world.
International Volunteering
Our international volunteering programme supports people of all ages to undertake meaningful and locally driven volunteering projects worldwide, either individually or as groups.
Group volunteering projects are organised in close partnership with our global partners who are based in the country where the project is planned to take place. Partners communicate with the local community to identify what problem the group of volunteers can solve.
As part of two of the biggest international volunteer networks, the Alliance of European Voluntary Service Organisations and the Committee for International Voluntary Service Organisations (CCIVS), we share with them quality standards for our projects as well as the ethos that drives our work. Each year, we collaborate with our global partners, to develop more than 1,500 volunteer projects that take place all over the world. These projects are designed for individuals. Volunteer projects take place throughout the year and vary in length, so you can fit your experience around work and study commitments.
Seasonal Workers Programme
Concordia supports the UK farming industry through the supply of labour, skills and resources. We offer people of all ages from all over the world the opportunity to work in the UK on agricultural farms to learn skills, gain work experience and earn money.
We believe that the ethical supply of labour is vital to the UK farming industry and to promoting intercultural understanding and peace. Concordia is one of two Government trusted and recognised organisations that provides work permits to overseas workers. Our ethos of excellent customer service, professionalism, reliable labour provision and training ensures we are the number one choice for those wishing to come to the UK to work.
