Hello.

Your thread title mentions volunteering visa.
That one doesn't exist.

Any work, whether for an employer and paid or voluntary without pay is still work and needs an EB (business) extension of stay.

In order to get an EB extension you need a letter from your employer or in case you work for yourself a registration of your business.

On top if you apply for an ER (retirement) extension you are not allowed to work.

Hope this explains the situation in Cambodia.

Cheers

Again:

Any work, whether for an employer and paid or voluntary without pay is still work and needs an EB (business) extension of stay.

And:

On top if you apply for an ER (retirement) extension you are not allowed to work.

So it's retirement extension of stay and not allowed to work or volunteer, or work or volunteer but get a business extension of stay.

Cheers

You need to get an Ordinary visa, aka business visa, from the Cambodian embassy in London.
Contact them for the requirements to obtain that visa.

Cheers
