Volunteering is a fun and an easy way to explore your interests and passions. As a volunteer you can make a significant contribution to various areas of community life. Volunteering is time willingly given for the common good and without financial gain.

Through volunteering, you:

  • Have the opportunity to contribute to your community
  • Learn new skills and gain confidence
  • Be a significant part of a team
  • Make new friends and have fun
  • Help promote awareness of the needs and services in our community
  • Gain satisfaction in the knowledge that volunteering really does make a difference
  • Demonstrate your skills, which can be attractive to a future employer.
