Become a volunteer
Volunteers add value to your organisation, supporting your mission and strategic objectives
- Engage a diverse range of qualities, skills, experience and knowledge
- Raise awareness about your cause, organisation and what you do
- Build relationships and contribute to supporting others in your community. By providing volunteering opportunities you provide opportunities for social inclusion and skills development. There is also evidence that volunteering can help to improve health and wellbeing for individuals.
- Inform the development and delivery of your services by bringing in new opinions, ideas or approaches. This can help you to adapt, stay relevant to what your beneficiaries and community needs, and identify opportunities to improve what you do
- Deliver your service or projects in a more effective and efficient way, which can help to save money and resources. However, organisations do have to invest in supporting volunteering for this to work effectively.
