My experience at the project was very positive. Everyone was kind, friendly, and welcoming, which made me feel comfortable from the beginning. The tasks were not difficult and were clearly explained. With two days off per week, there was enough time to explore the city. The location is also very convenient, as it is close to the station and makes it easy to move around London. I would recommend this experience to other volunteers.

This was a great and rare opportunity to stay at such a well-connected spot in London that at the same time is more peaceful than the project. Unfortunately during my stay in winter there weren't any classes happening, which I would've loved to join! The shifts also finished at 4pm so by the time I finished work it was dark and there wasn't time to do much outside. The tasks can also be quite physically demanding and tiring. But overall it was quite flexible, varied, and very well organised. A big thank you to Rob for being so welcoming.

It was a wonderful experience, the occasion to discover more about Buddhism and medidation!!! Aside from the busy London, the peacefulness of the project is a true gem, it is really relaxating. And the location allows you to move really easily, since it's close to the underground. You'll be in the center with the volunteer, Rob who's a wonderful person but also some very kind residents!! And this forms a very cool and chill atmosphere So if you want to visit London, discover a new culture and be in a peaceful community : this is a must to go.

My experience as a volunteer at the project was deeply enriching and rewarding. The attention, care, and respect from Robert and all the residents create a welcoming and inspiring environment. I highly recommend this the project to anyone wishing to dedicate their time meaningfully, while learning and contributing to the community. I send my best wishes to everyone and look forward, with joy, to a possible reunion in the future.

My days at the project were an absolute gift. I had a wonderful time with everyone and learned a lot about the project and about myself. Rob is an amazing host, always willing to help, listen, and make my stay at the center feel so warm. It felt like home! I definitely recommend volunteering with them :) I'm so thankful for getting to know you and for the opportunity to learn with you!
