Why volunteer?
Volunteers can make a real difference. People volunteer for a range of reasons, and each volunteering opportunity provides its own experience.
Volunteering can help you to:
- develop new skills and experience
- enhance your CV
- meet new people
- make a difference to other people’s lives
- keep services running in your community
As a volunteer you will be given full training and gain experience which could help you obtain new skills, keep active, change careers or enhance your C.V.
