As a volunteer supporting these services, you will help build your community and transform lives. Whether you’re mentoring a child, painting a centre or simply being there for someone who needs a friendly person to talk to, you will be making a real difference in your community.

With nearly 2,000 staff and over 3,000 volunteers, you will work alongside people from all walks of life with different personalities, skill sets, backgrounds, interests, careers and stories- all united by the desire to do all the good they can. Connecting with people who share your passion for a cause or social issue creates a path to developing strong relationships with others.

Volunteering can take you outside your comfort zone, unveiling strengths you never knew existed and boosting your confidence and self-esteem. Having new experiences can help you discover a new passion, and working alongside experts in the field will help you gain the skills and contacts to pursue that passion.

Volunteering exposes you to a variety of skill sets and experiences that you can turn into transferable skills, making you a more versatile, attractive employee. And if you’re  interested in entering the charities sector, volunteering is a great way to get a foot in the door and gain some valuable experience for your resume.

Volunteering gives you the opportunity to spend time addressing social issues you feel strongly about.
