Our volunteers tell us that they derive great satisfaction from giving something back to the community, as well as learning new skills and using existing ones. Above all, it’s fun and a great way to meet new people. In a recent survey, 100% of our volunteers told us they felt valued as part of the HELP team – so why not give it a go!
