Have you ever thought about volunteering your time to a local charity or community organisation?

There are many different reasons for you to start volunteering:
- To help others
- To learn about an activity or organisation that interests you
- To beat boredom
(if you find yourself sitting around the house feeling totally bored, volunteering in an activity you enjoy can be a great way to change things)
- To gain perspective on life
(there is no better way to understand your blessings than to help people in need)
