Why Volunteer?

• It keeps my old skills alive and develops new ones
• It’s stopped me being judgemental
• I know the community better and realise there are two sides to an argument
• I have a better balance in my life
• I am doing something about my beliefs
• I have the satisfaction of helping people in difficult situations
• At the start I thought it was altruism, now I believe I get back more than I give
• I wanted to get out of the house, feel worthwhile and useful
