Volunteering Opportunities

Volunteering can increase happiness! Researchers examined the relationship between volunteering and measures of happiness, they found:
  • the more people volunteered, the happier they were.
It also broadens our experiences and helps to develop the skills that can be transferred into a workplace. These skills include confidence, communication, responsibility, teamwork and innovation.
