Volunteering

Volunteering is where people give time to others without being motivated by financial or material gain. Volunteering is intended to promote good or improve human quality of life. 

Why do it?

For lots of good reasons:

• Meet people
• Have fun
• Help others and feel useful
• Do something different
• Gain new experiences
• Build self confidence
• Learn new skills
• Contribute to a worthwhile cause
