Volunteering

People volunteer for all sorts of reasons, for all kinds of organisations, doing a huge amount of work at all levels.

Volunteering can be fun, it can be a way to make new friends, and it can be a route to future employment.

What’s involved?

Don’t worry if you don’t have much time or experience. On average, most volunteers give 2-3 hours per week, and training is often provided.

Questions to ask yourself:

• How much time have I got?
• When and for how long?
• Do I want to use the experience I’ve got or learn something new?
• What’s my main reason for thinking about volunteering just now?
• What would I enjoy/be really interested in?
