People offer to volunteer for various reasons:-
- They have some spare time and want to give something back to their community
- They want to make a difference
- They want to gain the skills and confidence to return to work
- To socialise and make new friends
- Or to simply keep busy
Volunteering is a great way to use your existing skills or to learn new ones. It really does make a difference not only to you, but to the person/people you support.
Our volunteers help in all areas of the organisation, Social Wellbeing (helping in Clubs, Befriending and undertaking Good Neighbour tasks or helping people gain digital skills) Information and Advice, in our shops, helping to raise funds for us and general helping out with administration in our offices.
Without our volunteers many of our services would not be sustainable.
Our volunteers are precious to us
