Volunteering can help you gain confidence by giving you the chance to try something new and build a real sense of achievement. t Make a difference. Volunteering can have a real and valuable positive affect on people, communities and society in general. t Meet people. Volunteering can help you meet different kinds of people and make new friends. t Be part of a community. Volunteering can help you feel part of something outside your friends and family. t Learn new skills. Volunteering can help you learn new skills,

gain experience and sometimes even qualifications. t Take on a challenge. Through volunteering you can challenge yourself to try something different, achieve personal goals, practice using your skills and discover hidden talents. t Have fun! Most volunteers have a great time, regardless of why they do it.

Whether you have a little or lots of time to give there will be something you could to do support your community. By giving your time you are helping the organisation you volunteer for, you're also helping the people and communities they support.
