Gap Year Opportunities.

Are you interested at the prospect of a Gap Year?
Would you like to volunteer to travel and help in needy areas of the world?

Our Mission

The Epiphany Trust is a legally constituted charity, dedicated to helping others, regardless of creed culture, by aid and education, and by encouraging groups and individuals wishing to initiate or continue their own projects.

What We Do

The Trust seeks in particular to serve the needs of disabled or disadvantaged children and young people, by giving them material aid, and assistance to adults who serve them. It is also dedicated to supporting Christian political education and acts as a facilitator, to encourage groups and organizations working for the good of others.

The Gap Year

The Trust now offers great opportunities for people who want to combine exciting gap year travel with voluntary work. You can volunteer for a whole year or for just a few weeks if you prefer and we positively encourage those wishing to take a career break.

Here are some places where the Trust is working, and where your volunteer help is needed:

Wales - At the Epiphany centre on Anglesey as a member of the "Chrysalis Team" providing educational holidays for learning disabled.

Hong Kong - With our partners Global Hand who supply gifts in kind to counties around the world.

Sri Lanka - With a young church in Kandy working with children who live on the streets and with those traumatised by the 20 year old civil war. - With a partner N.G.O. in Galle assisting those still suffering the affects of the tsunami. - With learning disabled children in the Hill Country.

The work can be extremely varied and different projects arise from time to time. Detailed above are those where we currently require volunteers.

But it isn't all work and no play.

Bathing with Elephants, visiting Dracula's castle, enjoying the most perfect beaches, making life long friends, experiencing new cultures and most of all knowing your help was much needed and so gratefully received.

Everyone gets an individually tailored programme, which is costed to suit your requirements.

So if you want to join us on a Gap year or even just for a few weeks or if you want to know more about the opportunities on offer please get in touch.

Testimonies

"I spent eight months away from home on an Epiphany gap year. I had the most amazing time and I recommend it to anyone interested - not just because of the diversity of experiences in each country and not just because of the friends you make, but because you're able to help others and see the difference your help has made to so many lives."
Gareth Hill, 21 (a qualified joiner) worked on projects in Romania, Kosovo & Sri Lanka.

 

" The experience I had in Romania was truly remarkable, and the love and affection which the four young adults gave me cannot be put into words. The experience will remain with me forever, and I will continue to visit them as they continue to grow and develop. They are now a big part of my life."
Sharon Noon 22, speaking of her year at the "Arc".
