Low volunteering rates are not just bad news for the economy and for individuals but for charities across the country. It is small charities, which make up 80% of the charity sector and are more likely to be reliant on volunteers, which are struggling the most as a result of this decline in volunteering. And the volunteer recruitment challenge is worsening for small charities, not improving. Vital reading from Pro Bono Economics https://lnkd.in/e_8QFtuj

Impact of Giving: Research shows that charitable acts not only help others but also increase the giver’s happiness and life satisfaction. 4. Digital Revolution: Online platforms have made it easier than ever to support charitable causes, expanding the reach and impact of our contributions. 5.

Why isn't volunteering more common in daily life? 🤔 Seamless.AI is organizing its fall philanthropy day next month, encouraging us to take a half day to volunteer for a charity in our area. I seized the opportunity and quickly signed up to dedicate a couple of hours of my time. Volunteering is something I value and would readily do given the chance. In school, volunteering was a regular part of our routine. However, as adults, this practice often fades away without external encouragement. While my mother has always been actively involved in charity work, I've noticed that many people only engage when prompted or when they have a personal connection. Let's work towards making volunteering and donating a common practice. It should be something we do regularly, perhaps on a monthly basis. There are countless ways to contribute - from organizing toy drives to baking for charity organizations or simply donating items to those in need. Let's make giving back a part of our routine and help create a more caring and supportive community. 🌟 #Volunteering #Philanthropy #GiveBack #CommunitySupport

Volunteering makes the world a nicer place... It's volunteering week and as ever, the team are helping to find local people opportunities both within our projects and locally with trusted organisations. - Volunteering is a great stepping stone into or back into employment. Work experience, upskilling and building back after a break. - Volunteering is good for health & wellbeing. Physically & mentally a great way to stay in shape. A good way to meet and interact with others. Grow from the sense of giving. Restore your faith in others. - Volunteering helps support the systems that support vunerable people. Charities need volunteers to do the work that they do to underpin public services. Not everything can be a paid job or service...sometimes we just need to help others, because it is the right thing to do. We also hope that in our times of need, there will be volunteers to support us too. If you already volunteer or are an organisation / group that facilitates volunteering - well done and thank you! #charity #Solihull #volunteersweek #community #health
