Volunteering
Volunteering is a hugely valuable and rewarding experience both for the volunteers and for the organisations and communities they support.
Dedicating your time as a volunteer helps you make new friends, expand your network, and boost your social skills. It also shows prospective employers that you have a sense of social responsibility which is a highly desirable quality. Having volunteering experience on your CV will make your application stand out when you start applying for jobs.
Whether you’re involved in a local community project, a research task or part of a youth group, the benefits of volunteering can be enormous. Knowing you make a difference and have helped others is empowering and gives you a natural sense of purpose and accomplishment.
Get involved and give volunteering a go!
