Volunteer ideas?

-

Looking for volunteer opportunities!

We’re a family of three, including a teenager, heading to London and Dover for about a week. If anyone has suggestions for volunteer activities, we’d love to hear them! Dover might be a bit easier for us. We’re open to helping with gardening or at an animal rescue. During my time in the US Navy, some of my favorite port visits involved volunteering, where I met some amazing people. We know we can’t see everything, so we plan to mix in some volunteering with our sightseeing. Thanks in advance for your recommendations!
