Volunteering

Why volunteer?  By volunteering you can:

  • Learn new skills
  • Try out different kinds of jobs
  • Receive free training
  • Add some work experience to your CV
  • Meet people
  • Help people and improve the world around you

If you are thinking about volunteering in your area, it helps to have an idea of how much time you can spare, what areas interest you, whether you want to start a new project or work on an existing project and who you'd like to work with.

There are volunteer centres in your area that can offer advice and help you find a volunteer placement that best suits your interests and schedule. You can also search for volunteering opportunities online by visiting the links listed on this page.
