If you have a little free time over the summer, here are some of the reasons why it is good for you to volunteer and help out in your local community.
This summer you could:
- Develop and learn new skills – which could be useful in both your professional and private life.
- Meet new people – and have fun making new friends.
- Enhance your CV – employers look favourably on volunteering experience.
- Gain a whole new perspective – on your own life and improve your mental well-being and happiness.
- Make change happen – and make the world a better place through volunteering for a good cause.
- Give back to society – with a little of your time given to helping a local charity that supports your local community.
