I plan to travel to Bristol for a year in order to volunteer my interpreting services to 2 deaf students on exchange. how do i do that? what is the limit on travel visas? can i get a work visa if i'm not getting paid?
Hi
This is the government website. It may be able to answer some of your questions? It may be easier contacting your local British Consulate and asking their advice if you wish to go the legal route.

St Nicholas Market has been in existence for a very long time and consists of a covered market, open market place and little alleys full of small wooden sheds. You can get anything from fresh vegetables to T-shirts printed for you and handcrafted jewellery. I love the place.
Bristol Zoo Gradens is a great day out for kids and adults alike.
As well as a huge monkey island and large gorilla enclosure, Bristol Zoo has walk through bat houses, reptiles, aquariums, nocturnal enclosures and much more.
Sadly there are no giraffes or elephants here any more but there's plenty more to keep you occupied.
There is a large picnic area in the centre of the gardens to take a break and an adventure playground close by to wear out the kids.
Visitors are welcome to take their own food and drinks in but there are cafes, shops and burger bars dotted around the complex which are not that expensive.
Quite a history behind this one. It started off life in 1908 as the worthy and wordy 'Bristol Guild of Applied Art' - basically a showcase for local craftmen. Over the past 100 years (almost!) the name has shortened considerably to 'Guild' or - for the particularly verbose amongst you - 'The Guild'.
The shop meanders over a number of floors in interesting and beguiling ways. The stock is still design driven but it can no longer claim to be the work of local craftsmen alone. Indeed much of it probably isn't even UK sourced but it is interesting and not the sort of stuff you'll find in most city shops. You'll find kitchenware, crafts, gifts, furniture and lighting, toys, jewellery and handbags and even some food. I often come away clutching something but be warned - it isn't cheap! Inevitably I always leave an expensive item sitting on the shelf which I will mope about for weeks afterwards. This year it was a beech bath tidy. Doesn't sound particularly exciting does it, but it's bookrest, candle holder and glass receptacle was rather ravishing in it's wooden finish (see photo). Yours for £85. That'll buy you a lot of spare soap... Luxury bath bits It doesn't come cheap.
Exeter is an exceptionally easy city to reach from most parts of the country. It has two main line railway stations, both with direct links from and to London. Trains also arrive here from the North of England, via Bristol, and proceed further west to Plymouth and to Penzance in Cornwall. There is a very good airport just outside the city, with links to the city by bus or taxi. The M5 motorway passes to the east of the city, and there is a very good major road (A30/A303) which connects more directly with london, most of which is dual carriageway.
There is an excellent network of 'hopper' buses throughout Exeter and the surrounding area, as well as a central bus and coach station for journies outside of the city, such as Plymouth and Torquay.

We have a large variety of cusine in Bristol to suit most tastes and budget. One of my favourites is Sergios near the centre of Bristol. It is a small family run Italian restaurant where the menu will change each day according to the fresh produce that is available.
You can bring your own wine and pay a small corkage fee. The staff are very friendly and cannot do enough for you. Its like being part of the family. The baked monkfish is to die for
