For a country with such a rich historical heritage, there is limited capacity for any kind of work to preserve the buildings that give it its character. Our work represents early interventions by the Albanian National Trust to tackle these problems and importantly, the presence of 'outsiders' helps to show the way for local action. Attracting visitors to these valuable sites is equally important for Albania - a country desperately in need of income and sustainable tourism.
As the UK's biggest environmental volunteering charity, our aim is to make the maximum contribution to the communities and places we work in and we always work with a local partner organisation. These are unique holidays in a unique place. Working directly with the National Park management and local communities you'll have the chance to experience Albania in a way no other holiday can offer. Living, laughing and working as a group, you're not only changing the world, you'll change your life.

We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
