Volunteering on Erraid

Volunteers join us for one-month periods and take part in the daily life and work of the island community, with tasks ranging from kitchen help and gardening to home care, maintenance, and other seasonal or communal activities. We usually have space for two to three volunteers per month. We’re delighted to host volunteers, with the understanding that suitability will be reviewed (mutually) during the visit.

Costs: We kindly ask for a contribution according to capacity of £75–£125 per week to cover organic food and board expenses. There is an additional charge of £25 for bringing your dog to stay with us. Please read through our Dogs on Erraid policy before considering bringing your dog to stay in the community.
