(UK people only) Does anyone know any great places/websites for volunteering/helping within the UK?
Hi. I'm searching for organizations/affiliations in helping those who are drug addicts, sex addicts, alcohol addicts, at-risk and troubled teens/children/youth, those who are economically disadvantaged, poor, and hungry within the UK's major cities(preferably Birmingham, Bristol, and the outskirts of London, but other cities/small and local towns will do too). I'm sure there are some organizations out there, but my searching is not giving me any success. If possible, please give me some places to start looking for, or any website that can help me start. I am interested in volunteering places/community service (paid or non-paid, profit or non-profit) that are aimed in helping that kind of scenario within the UK. I'm doing this because I loved the experience I gained from volunteering with the Latino community in California. I am from the US, and I have plans to work in the UK one day as a nurse in public/community health soon. I enjoy giving back to the community in this way. By the way, I am a 19-year-old multi-ethnic male with an Associate's of Science degree in Health (A.S.), going into nursing school for a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing (BScN) to be an RN (RGN). If that info helps a bit. Also, is there any work I can get from my Associate Degree in Health Science in the UK (I mean ANY as in hospital, clinics, public health, etc.)? I will be reciveing my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing after another year. I like informing about health(or public health) awareness in society, as well as tutor English as a second language. Oh and please, I don't want to deal with counseling pregnant teens... I've had bad experiences with that. Thanks!

Great to hear that you are giving back to the community. This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but they do give to their community. http://www.habitatforhumanity.org.uk/ Also check out http://www.projectme.info This is a place for troubled teens to work out their problematic behaviors. Not in the UK, but something to keep in mind.
