Do you have a couple of hours a week to spare from September? Maybe your children are starting nursery, school or going off to University? Maybe you are coming up to retirement, or just want to find something different to do away from school or work? Maybe you want to meet some new friends and have fun? Volunteering is a fantastic way to give something back to the local community and help others whilst gaining so much for yourself as well.
