Volunteering and unpaid work
Volunteering can be very rewarding and is a great way to:
- meet new people
- gain new or use existing skills
- get experience
- make a big difference to your community
There are lots of easy ways to give your time to help others - from having a cup of tea with an elderly neighbour, to helping out in your local area or volunteering with a charity or community group.
