The training, ongoing support, accommodation and travel for volunteers with NET naturally comes at a cost. NET fundraises to cover the majority of that cost. Volunteers are asked to funraise themselves to contribute towards their year. Volunteers are asked to raise £5700 towards a NET year.
While that is a lot of money, we will support you with your fundraising in various ways throughout the NET year so don't let that put you off. If you would like some ideas to begin with please follow this link
