What volunteer ??
Volunteering is all about making a difference to other people's lives. Getting off your sofa and taking time out to change things for the better can be great fun.
People choose to volunteer for a variety of reasons. For some it offers the chance to give something back to the community or make a difference to the people around them. For others it provides an opportunity to develop new skills or build on existing experience and knowledge. Regardless of the motivation, what unites them all is that they find it both challenging and rewarding.
We tell five inspirational stories from ordinary people doing extraordinary things. There is diverse range of volunteering opportunities available, and the different people who give their time.Below are some of the reasons people choose to volunteer. For some it provides an opportunity to:
