What is Volunteering?
Volunteering is for anyone, whatever your abilities and skills.
You can volunteer to do lots of different things, from dog walking to decorating, from gardening to shopping.
You receive the opportunity to learn new skills, gain independence, meet new people, make friends and strengthen your community.
And you can use the skills you learn and the training you get as a volunteer to help you find a paid job.
Your local Volunteer Centre can also help you to find an opportunity right for you and in your area.
“If I can do it – you can do it!”
