Volunteers make a real difference to their world and to themselves!
Think about:

• When you are available to volunteer – evenings / weekends / weekdays and how much time you are able to give
• Where you will feel comfortable – Somewhere near your home? Inside or outdoors? With people or behind the scenes?

• What would you like to gain from your volunteering?
