Campaign: | To encourage people to take up volunteer work |
I’m part of a group that volunteers in our area and we all know the benefits that taking action in the local community can bring.
As well as making a difference to others' lives, you socialise and make new friends when you’re volunteering and we think it’s something that more people should consider doing.
Whether it’s cleaning graffiti, helping at a food bank or litter picking, there are plenty of options available for those wanting to volunteer.
We hope our campaign will inspire others to step up, make a difference and become their own community superhero.
