Put your hand up and become a volunteer in your community

Volunteering is a great way to be part of your local community, meet new people, and give something back. Research has shown that volunteering can also be good for your mental health and wellbeing too!

A 2016 report from pwc and Volunteering Australia looked into the benefits of volunteering in Australia and found that 93% of volunteers saw positive changes as a result of their volunteering efforts.  Many of the respondents in the study said volunteering improved their patience skills, allowed them to build new networks, and develop professional skills.

Take a look at some of the volunteering opportunities currently available locally.
