For Volunteer Community Development Projects

Once your booking has been processed and the deposit payment cleared, we will send you the first of two Gaps for Grumpies pre-departure packs. The first will detail some of the important destination, health and preparation issues you need to consider prior to departure and request details of your flights, if we don't already have them, passport and visa information etc.

Approximatley 4 - 6 weeks prior to departure we will send you your second and final pre-departure pack giving you more information about the specifics of your trip, contact details to share with family and friends and if relevant, some information, including contact details, of the other Gaps for Grumpiess on your project.

We will undoubtedly call you during the lead up to your volunteer project just to ensure that all your preparations are going well and we are of course available to you to answer any query or concern no matter how small or large.

Once you arrive at your destination airport a member of our Crew or the regional manager of the country, will be there to meet you and transfer you to your project. They will also be available throughout the project to assist you and to ensure you return to your city of departure at the end of your volunteer project.
