Our Support Groups
Support groups were set up by international volunteers who were inspired by their time and charitable works. Support Groups of Calcutta Rescue are present around the world and they have formed charities in their own countries to support us. They assist in raising money and recruiting skilled volunteers for various projects.
These Support Groups are run entirely by volunteers. To keep administrative and fundraising costs to a minimum, they do not have any paid staff or offices. Currently we have seven support groups from seven western countries.(UK , Germany, Netherlands, Canada, France, Switzerland, USA)
If you live outside India and would like more information about volunteering, donation or helping in another way, please contact your nearest Support Group.
Volunteers
Calcutta Rescue is proud of all its ex-volunteers and current volunteers around the world who have generously given their time, energy and skills to assist the charity in its work with the poorest of the poor. Without them the charity would never have survived and ex-volunteers continue to play a vital role in raising funds for its work and helping shape its future.
During the initial days, the ex-volunteers were mainly travellers who stumbled across Dr Jack working on the pavement in Middleton Road, and inspired by his benevolence, stayed on to work at his side for a few weeks or months. Some went home and set up support groups in their own countries to raise money and assist other volunteers.
Later, when Dr Jack was able to pay Indian staff to run the projects, volunteers were restricted to those with specialist skills such as nurses, doctors, and pharmacists. They bring up-to-date, high-level expertise into the team, and by sharing their skills and experience, they ensure standards at the charity are among the best in India.
