Lattitude Global Volunteering (formerly GAP Activity Projects) was an international charity established in Reading, Berkshire, in 1972 to provide 17- to 25-year-olds with support to travel outside of their own community, in most cases to other countries, where they spent several months assisting with care or educational projects. Lattitude Global Volunteering voluntarily ceased operation in a liquidation on 26 August 2021.
In 2012 Lattitude co-ordinated activities for their 40,000th volunteer. The group is also credited with helping to coin the term "gap year" from its original name.
