work experience for young people
What you should bring
You must bring a sleeping bag, warm working clothes, waterproof clothing, rubber boots or sturdy waterproof footwear. Please ensure that your sleeping bag is a warm one as temperatures in the United Kingdom can be considerably lower than most European countries!
It is essential to bring at least £100 in sterling or equivalent currency with you. This is enough for travelling expenses to the farm, and your living costs until the first pay day (usually after the first week of work). In the event of the harvest beginning later than anticipated, it will be sufficient to cover your living costs until your first pay day.
Please see the check list for a more detailed list of what you should pack in your suitcase.
UK work placements available
Concordia has placements on farms in the UK starting between now and mid-June. If this is of interest to you and you have working rights in the UK, then please e-mail students@concordia-
ysv.org.uk with your name, date of birth, contact details and the dates you are available.
We regret that if you are a Romanian or Bulgarian national, all our SAWS work cards for 2008 have been allocated and we will not be able to offer you a placement.
