Volunteers are an indispensable part of many voluntary and community organisations and groups.
Volunteering is giving your time to do something useful without getting paid for it (apart from expenses). Volunteering can provide you with the satisfaction of time and effort well spent helping a good cause and is also a great way to meet new people, learn new skills and gain useful experience.
Volunteer Centres will help you choose what kind of voluntary work you would like to do and try to match what you would like to do to a charity or community group that needs assistance.
If you are interested in volunteering you can also contact your local Volunteer Centre:
