Why volunteer?

For some it provides an opportunity to:

  • Give something back to an organisation that has impacted on a person's life, either directly or indirectly,
  • Make a difference to the lives of others,
  • Help the environment,
  • Help others less fortunate or without a voice,
  • Feel valued and part of a team,
  • Spend quality time away from work or a busy lifestyle,
  • Gain confidence and self esteem.

For some, volunteering can be a route to employment, or a chance to try something new which may lead to a career change. From this perspective, volunteering can be a way of:

  • Gaining new skills, knowledge and experience,
  • Developing existing skills and knowledge,
  • Enhancing a CV,
  • Improving one's employment prospects,
  • Gaining an accreditation,
  • Using one's professional skills and knowledge to benefit others.

For others, volunteering appeals because of its social benefits. These include:

  • Meeting new people and making new friends,
  • A chance to socialise,
  • Getting to know the local community,
  • Travelling the world.

So if you:

  • Just want to help out?
  • Looking to learn new skills?
  • Keen to meet other people?
  • Fired up to make a difference?
  • Volunteering can help you do it.

For that reason alone, volunteering can be one of the most rewarding investments you'll ever make. Whether you have a little or lots of time to give there should be something there for you.
