We can make a positive difference to another person
When you volunteer, you give your energy and skills to help other people. No matter how or where you volunteer, whether at a food bank, hospital, youth centre, school, senior home, or animal shelter, you can make a difference in your community. All you have to do is complete a quick search online to find the right volunteer opportunity near you where you can give back to your community in a big way.
Volunteering can have a direct impact on individual lives. Our volunteers are matched with individual adults and young people with whom attended our activities regularly and build a bond. It’s because of this personal and direct relationship that our volunteers can see is the very tangible difference their time and effort is making to one particular new life.
