Why volunteer ?


The truth is, there isn’t one single convincing answer to this question. In fact there are hundreds, thousands, even millions of possible answers.

Speak to more than one volunteer and you will have more than one reason why people believe it was a worthwhile experience.

Here are a few of the most common benefits of volunteering.

To give something back

On a basic level, volunteering offers the chance to step back from our everyday lives, appreciate what we have and contribute back in whatever way we can to those who perhaps are not as fortunate.

To develop career prospects

Volunteering can do good for others - as well as yourself. So it’s a great way to build skills and experience to develop your career.

To explore

Why not combine the good you can do through volunteering with the chance to explore the world and embark on an adventure in far-flung places?

To try new things & have fun!

If you think that volunteering is all work and no play - think again! Young people all over the country are using their passions to spread positivity to others, enjoy new once in a lifetime experiences and meet amazing new people along the way.
