Whether you are new to volunteering or have a lot of experience, you will benefit from considering your own needs and motivations. Think about what you have to offer and what you may gain. Do you want to:

• share skills
• help your community
• get some work experience
• make new friends
• develop a personal interest
• enrich your CV
• improve your self-confidence
• relieve boredom
• try something different.

There are almost as many reasons why people volunteer, as there are volunteering opportunities to choose from. You’ll be amazed at what you can do, we won’t!
