Donate professional skills / Be a volunteer

Use your expertise to help us

A lot of professionals say that they like their jobs but there is something missing. Every day there are more and more professionals searching for a meaning in their lives and opting to use their professional skills in a charitable way along with their careers. Because of this, many companies are offering their employees an extra one or two days to do charitable work.

If you feel that your professional skills can make a difference to a good cause we would like to hear about it.

Or, perhaps you are a fresh graduate who would like to improve skills in research, analysis, writing reports or marketing. We would like to get to know you, too.

Volunteer with us

We have plenty of activities to do in Monty's Corner programme and CCE Research Alliance. We warmly welcome volunteers. You can volunteer from anywhere in the world. All you need is a desk and a computer with an Internet connection. All activities are done through internet and all communications are through emails.

If you are interested in volunteering, please use our contact us form and indicate your interest.

Spread the word

Would you like to play Chinese Whispers?

We are looking for people to spread the word about Monty's Corner worldwide. We are aware that not everybody has online access to Monty's Corner. We are currently planning our expansion to wider audience. It is important to get global participation to share our knowledge and experiences. Please contact us to discuss details.

Take a challenge

If you would like to sponsor us in an organised event please let us know. Please contact us to discuss details.

WHY?

Why in my brain?
It caused me so much pain.
Why in my head?
Perhaps somewhere else instead.
Why in my brain?
We tried a fluid drain.

I just want to walk like you.
I’ve had enough now, haven’t you too?

What’s the Point?

What’s the point of eyes,
If you’re not here to see?
What’s the point of ears,
If you cannot hear me?
Every sense on my body,
Useless as a broken toy,
What’s the point of beauty,
If you cannot enjoy?
