Volunteering is a rewarding and enjoyable way to give your time supporting others, learn and develop new skills, build confidence and be sure that you are making a difference.
Volunteering is important not just because it supports people in our health and care settings and in our communities, but because it can have enormous benefits for the people volunteering themselves.
Volunteering can also be a great way to:
• Gain new skills
• Put your existing skills to good use
• Gain confidence
• See what working in health and care is really like
• Make new friends
• Improve your mental health and wellbeing
• Gain experience to support you get back into work
