Volunteering

Volunteering is choosing to do something for the benefit of others, or for your community or the environment, without being paid to do it.

Volunteering is open to anyone, and can bring great personal rewards. We believe that everyone has a valuable contribution to make to society.

Find a new direction, develop a sense of purpose
Reduce Stress and anxiety
Increase Self-esteem, motivation, social skills, mental and physical health and gain confidence
Become more independent and less reliant
Take pride in helping others finding a new purpose and developing a sense of achievement
Volunteering can help to increase your social interaction, meeting with other people gives you peer support (a fellow volunteer or two), you become part of a community which may increase your psychological well-being.
Challenging yourself to learn new skills can lead to a sense of accomplishment and fulfilment
A regular routine brings structure to your day or even week
Volunteering can also teach you valuable job skills, provide experience and even advance your career

A volunteer offering two or three hours a week is just as valuable to an organisation than someone offering full time unpaid work. Choose a reasonable amount of time for you. If an organisation is looking for volunteers to work specific times; are those times convenient for you? If not consider a different job or a different organisation.

Remember you can always increase your hours if you wish, don’t be scared to ask for a reduction if the hours are too much for you.

many people choose to volunteer their time via phone or computer. In today’s digital age, many organizations need help with writing, graphic design, email, and other web-based tasks. Some organizations may require you to attend an initial training session or periodical meetings while others can be conducted completely remotely. In any volunteer situation, make sure that you are getting enough social contact, and that the organization is available to support you should you have questions
