There is no doubt that people who volunteer are motivated by helping other people. Volunteers also find that there are benefits for themselves, with skills developed, new friendships and greater self-confidence just some of the benefits. That’s the great thing about volunteering: everyone wins!

Volunteering is also great fun. Volunteers feel satisfaction from helping other people, but they also develop friendships and there is always time for a laugh! Along with making a difference for the people assisted, the sense of camaraderie is a major motivator for volunteers to keep coming back.

Our volunteers also say that they feel valued by our employees. We know that volunteers are the engine of our organisation; volunteer and salaried staff work together closely and cooperatively.
