What is volunteering?
Volunteering means giving up time to do work of benefit to the community. Volunteering can take many forms, from working with children with learning difficulties, in an animal hospital, or planting trees. Volunteers can be anyone of any ages. Students and full-time workers often manage to take part in some volunteer work.
What motivates volunteers?
In a recent survey, 20% of 18-24 year-olds and 8% of over-65s said their love lives had improved since they began volunteering. Volunteering is a way of seeing a lot of truth about someone you've just met in a short time says Mukta Das. The same poll found that nearly half of volunteers enjoyed improved health and fitness, a quarter had lost weight - especially those working with children or doing conservation projects - and two-thirds felt less stressed. So, it seems volunteering may improve your life.
