Why do People Volunteer?

Written By janine Richardson

People volunteer for many reasons, each reason as important as the other. Whilst unpaid, volunteering offers many rewards: 

  • Boosts confidence and self-esteem

  • Make new friendships and connections

  • Add structure to your daily routine

  • Utilise existing skills and acquire new ones. (No skills? No problem – training is provided!)

  • Enhance your CV and gain practical experience

  • Secure valuable references

  • Improve overall health and well-being

  • Explore potential career changes with a "taster" experience
