Community

Pax Lodge often receives inquiries from groups and individuals who are interested in doing volunteer work in the local London area. If you are interested in doing so, this page provides information on a few ways Pax Lodge can help you get involved. One option is to join a Pax Lodge event. Participating in Helping Hands volunteer week allows you to experience Pax Lodge from behind the scenes.

Volunteer your time and skills to the centre through maintenance projects, programme development and enjoy London at the same time. Pax Lodge provides you with the opportunity to include a volunteer project as part of your stay at our World Centre. Joining an event has several advantages. Key among them is that Pax Lodge staff will do the groundwork of organizing the Community Volunteer Project – contacting a partner organization, identifying their needs and the ways in which we can support them, arranging the schedule, getting supplies, arranging for transport and meals, etc. Then, all of the event participants, usually representing different countries, work together on the final planning and project work – i.e. designing and painting a mural or choosing and preparing crafts and games for children.　

Pax Lodge event participants also have many fun and interesting opportunities to learn about different cultures in a hands-on way by participating in our international night, trying out the art and theater of London, touring contemporary and historic landmarks, experiencing a traditional British cream tea, and much more. A final option is for groups or individuals to stay at Pax Lodge as independent guests, on a bed and board basis, and do a volunteer project on their own. This option is available if rooms are not fully booked for events. If you choose this option, you will be responsible for contacting the organization and making all arrangements for the project.
