Common Questions

Do I need to speak Russian to volunteer?

Not at all! Most volunteer roles only require English. Bilingual volunteers are especially valued for translation work, but there are plenty of ways to contribute in English alone.

How much time do I need to commit?

As much or as little as you like. Adding a single veteran takes about 15 minutes. Some volunteers help for a few hours before Victory Day, while others contribute throughout the year.

Can I volunteer from outside the UK?

Yes! Many of our volunteers are based overseas. You can add veterans, translate content, and contribute stories from anywhere in the world.

Have another idea?

If you have a unique skill or idea that could help the My Regiment UK community, we'd love to hear from you.
