Why Volunteer?
Volunteering is a great way to give something back to the community and to make use of your spare time. It makes a difference to your local area and to the people who live here. It is also a fun, rewarding way to meet new people, improve the environment and the lives of others, and in addition, learn new skills. It doesn't matter if you can spare a little time, or a lot, there are lots of ways to get involved and improve your community.
Volunteering is a great way of impressing potential employers. Helping at a local resident or community organisation can fill gaps in your work experience, boost your CV and allow you to try different types of roles to help you get a reference.
Giving up your time to help others is rewarding in many ways and allows you to meet new people and learn some valuable new skills, raise your self-confidence and self-esteem.

Housing event – Loneliness event, Marria Rehman (Volunteer)
I supported the SWEP crisis and I was orientated and supported by very caring and welcoming staff from Newham’s rough sleeper service and was in awe of the challenging work they undertake on a daily basis. It was great to learn so much about this service and interact and volunteer with the homeless. –
