Volunteering
Be Part Of The
Solution
Taking the step to volunteer for an
organisation or project you believe in could be the best thing you
ever do.
The best thing about volunteering is the chance to make
something you care about better through your actions. You can be
part of the solution not the problem.
Along the way you will gain lots of new experiences, and new
friends and better overall wellbeing. A study reported by
Timebank on their website found that volunteers
on the whole had a better immune system and a heightened sense of
wellbeing. While another study carried out by Timebank and Reed
Executive found that 73% of employers would employ a person with
volunteering experience over one without.
The Your London website www.yourlondon.gov.uk has an online directory
of volunary and community sector organisations which you can
search.
You will find your confidence rising as you rise to each new
challenge volunteering brings. What ever you choose to do,
volunteer today! |
