Volunteer Spotlights

Volunteer in an area you are really passionate about and use any past experience that you have.

Find something that you enjoy, just like with work it needs to spark you interests, help you grow or make you feel like you are giving something back.

Try different things, find an opportunity that makes you feel comfortable, and, most importantly, have fun!

Decide which charity interests you, then go for it. You won't regret volunteering.

Even if it's only an hour a week you have spare, that time and effort can really help a charity whilst benefiting you too!

When you have the skills, it's nice to put them to good use.

It takes all sorts to make a world, and we should value different people for the contribution they can make

...if there is a charity you want to really help, talk to them.

...you know in that instance that, however small, you've created a bit more happiness in the world.

My volunteer experiences have taught me to always be positive! Never give up!

My volunteering experiences have taught me that people can achieve wonderful things by working together

As human beings, I believe we all need love, community and relationship and sometimes all it takes is a conversation to ensure that a person knows that they are inherently valuable...

It has been a privilege to be part of the programme and it gave me structure to my days when we were in lockdown

I love knowing the people around me, participating in community life and helping out where I can

People are very interesting and also very grateful for the work that the vaccinators do
