According to a YouGov poll, the top ten most popular resolutions include exercising more, eating healthier, learning something new or pursuing a career ambition. Volunteering could help you to achieve all of these in just one afternoon!
If your goal is to exercise more, volunteering with a local conservation charity or gardening group could leave you feeling healthier, refreshed and energised, without having to step foot in the gym! A number of local gardening groups are always looking for volunteers to maintain flower beds and The Greensand Trust has a number of hands-on conservation roles.
Volunteering is a great way to learn something new, take on a new challenge or explore a new career route. Volunteering in a customer-facing role could help you to develop customer service and communication skills. Or you could volunteer in an office to build on your IT and Admin skills and find out whether it is the career for you.
Volunteering could provide you with the opportunity to gain an insight into a wide range of possible careers including; fundraising, marketing, giving advice and guidance, supporting children and their families, mentoring a vulnerable person or planning and running events.
