Volunteers are an essential resource for a sustainable non-profit organisation. For many charities, a steady supply of individuals willing to give their most valuable resource time— is critical for their basic operations. Now more than ever, the work that volunteers do has a clear and direct effect on the people and communities.
Giving to others can also help protect your mental and physical health. It can reduce stress, combat depression, keep you mentally stimulated, and provide a sense of purpose. While it’ s true that the more you volunteer, the more benefits you’ ll experience, volunteering doesn’ t have to involve a long-term commitment or take a huge amount of time out of your busy day. Giving in even simple ways can help those in need and improve your health and happiness.
One of the better-known benefits of volunteering is the impact on the community. Unpaid volunteers are often the glue that holds a community together. Volunteering allows you to connect to your community and make it a better place. Even helping out with the smallest tasks can make a real difference to the lives of people, animals, and organizations in need. And volunteering is a two-way street: It can benefit you and your family as much as the cause you choose to help. Dedicating your time as a volunteer helps you make new friends, expand your network, and boost your social skills.
