BTCV, as the UK's largest environmental volunteering organisation brings together people of all backgrounds to make real differences to the environments in which they live in both the UK and beyond. Throughout our 50 year history. we have developed projects that have a positive impact on how people think, feel and behave towards their environment and their community. We have led the way in bringing together environmental, social and economic aims, transforming them into practical activity.

Programs

BTCV's programmes reach into the heart of communities in the UK and beyond. BTCV helps the environment through organising volunteers carrying out real practical work and companies to take practical steps to green their business. We help communities achieve their dreams with technical support, training and equipment.
