Volunteering
What is Volunteering?
Volunteering means giving your time and abilities to aid others without the want of financial compensation. Put simply, volunteering is a service to your community.
Many non-profit organisations rely on volunteers to accomplish day-to-day objectives and to reach long-term goals. Most non-profit organisations would not be able to do the important work that they do without the power of volunteers.
Why Volunteer?
Nothing gets done by one person alone, volunteering your time, skills, and resources is one of the most powerful ways to make a difference, to help others, and to enhance your own wellbeing.
As a volunteer, you bring something unique to your volunteer role. The organisation, community or cause you’re involved with is enhanced and diversified by your contribution.
You make a difference!
