Why Volunteer?
Volunteering is about helping others. However there is so much you can get out of volunteering too. Everybody is different; therefore there are many different reasons for volunteering. This is what current volunteers in Tyne and Wear have said:
- Learn new skills and qualities such as problem solving and being part of a team
- Gain confidence- communicating with others and expressing your ideas
