Volunteer

Volunteering offers myriad personal benefits.

It enriches your life by fostering a sense of purpose and accomplishment, enhancing self-esteem and confidence.

It cultivates empathy, broadening your perspective and deepening your understanding of diverse communities and issues.

Volunteering hones valuable skills, often transferable to both personal and professional life, potentially boosting your career prospects.

The experience can forge lasting friendships and expand your social network. It combats stress and promotes mental well-being, as the act of giving back can boost mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Ultimately, volunteering not only positively impacts others but also enhances your own personal growth and satisfaction.

How to do today

Find somewhere to volunteer, pick something that is close to your heart.

It might be hard to actually accomplish the task today, but plan it, organise it, contact the organisation, and arrange a day.

It could be a once-off, volunteering for an event, or cleaning up litter in your local area or committing to a longer term, serving breakfast at a homeless shelter, reading to elderly in homes, helping fundraising or awareness for an organisation or even helping at your local school, listening to children read, the benefit for you will be much more than you can imagine.
