Pod Charity – Our Partnership Charity
Outdoor365 Group are happy to announce our partnership with the official charity of Pod Volunteer, Pod Charity. For more information on how we’re supporting this fantastic charity click here.
Who are POD?
Winners of the 2015 ‘Best Volunteering Organisation‘ award, Pod Volunteer are a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping under-developed communities by arranging volunteering opportunities worldwide. Volunteering trips arranged through Pod help local initiatives working to improve the quality of life for people and animals while assisting conservation projects to preserve the environment.
Operating since 2001, communities in Belize, Cambodia, Ghana, India, Madagascar, Nepal, Peru, South Africa, Tanzania, Thailand and Vietnam have benefitted from the work of Pod. The influence of Pod Charity and the initiatives they support has seen health, education standards and living conditions in social and economically damaged areas of this country improve.
We think Pod are brilliant for a lot of reasons, but most importantly you can trust them to put your donations to it’s absolute best use. As all Pod volunteers cover their own costs an incredible 100% of donations can go directly to helping these local initiatives with the charity being completely self funded. Every penny ends up where it’s needed most.
How are we helping?
Starting in February 2016 Outdoor365 will be supporting Pod Charity with a monthly donation. This donation will go directly towards providing 2,200 meals to 115 Children in Nepal. That’s over 26,000 meals a year! We’re very passionate about making sure these children can get the best education they can, and an essential part of that is providing them with multiple meals a day. We couldn’t be happier to provide this essential support.
As well as this monthly contribution we will soon be collaborating with Pod Charity to produce recommended kit lists. For potential volunteers these kit lists will offer suggestions that make the experience a more comfortable one. We will also be providing specialist kit lists for some of Pod’s more demanding opportunities.
We hope you’re looking forward to this journey with Pod as much as we are. Make sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for regular updates on our partnership with Pod.
