The Wonderful Thing
that is Volunteering…
At a time when things are economically tough and there are
so many demands on our time, why on earth would anyone volunteer their free
time to a good cause like Lifeline?
Here’s our 5 top reasons why to volunteer with us:
1...It’s good to give something back to an organisation that has impacted on a
person's life, either directly or indirectly – maybe a parent/neighbour/loved
one had a Lifeline in the past that meant a lot to them.
2...Make a difference to the lives of others
– there are many isolated and vulnerable people out there whose lives could be
hugely helped by having a Lifeline, so helping us tell more people about
Lifeline can really make a difference.
3...Spend quality
time away from work or a busy
lifestyle – to give even just an hour or two a week/month can be a
refreshing break from the normal day-to-day routine of life. As volunteer is a matter of choice, it is
generally more fulfilling and rewarding.
4...Gain confidence,
self-esteem and enhance your CV. Because
volunteering often involves going into an environment that you’re less familiar
with, outside of paid work, you can gain confidence, learn new skills and build
up a wealth experience for your CV, perhaps even enhancing your job prospects.
5...Get to know
new people and the local community –
We try and get out and about into the community as much as possible to
promote the service. Often this amongst
the elderly, and we can guarantee that they are wonderful to talk to! So many stories and insights in to life that
will definitely enrich your experience!
