Volunteering can change your life. For many people, making their time and skill available to others brings real satisfaction and fulfilment. It’s also gives you a chance to work in a different environment, make new friends, try out your skills alongside more experienced people and spend time with some amazing locals. Volunteering is immensely varied and can be fitted to suit you availability and interests. We think it offers our community in SE16 a tangible way to bring people together who might not meet otherwise and create a strong bond of friendship between different age groups and sorts of people.
Whatever your reasons for giving your time – for your CV, to give something back or to open up new experiences – you will find a way to volunteer in SE16 or around.
If you are looking for SE16 volunteers to work with your organisation, get in touch to show them on this page shout@iliveinse16.com
