FOLLOWING a good summer you may want to get outside or start a new project, if so, than maybe volunteering is the thing for you.
Whether you’ve got a few hours a month or a day a week there’s an opportunity out there to suit. “Volunteering provides me with the chance to do meaningful work that enhances the community and makes me feel useful.”
Here are just a few opportunities within your area: Short-term Host: Cultural Exchange Visits with Host UK, help make the world a little friendlier.
