Only the life lived for others is the life worthwhile

Supporting your local community can bring a whole host of benefits. Lending a helping hand can help you to make new friends, learn new skills, advance your career and, most importantly, gives a lot back to your community.
There are a lots of ways that you can help your local community:

  1. Get involved as a volunteer
    There are plenty of opportunities out there . If you’re considering ways to get involved in the community as a volunteer, but have little time to spare, look out for flexible roles that can fit around your needs.
    You could try to be a:

  2. Mentor to a young person

  3. Befriender to a lonely older person

  4. Conservation volunteer

  5. Community project worker

  6. Charity shop assistant

  7. Support local businesses
    Support your local businesses by buying locally. Instead of buying from supermarkets, support local farmers and purchase local produce instead.

  8. Raise money
    If you’ve got small change, you could give this to charity collectors on the street or the homeless.

  9. Donate
    Donate old items of clothing, furniture, utensils etc to local homeless shelters, food to animal shelters or to local charity shops. It all helps.
