Why I volunteer when I can… This was me yesterday, about to begin volunteering for the day with Seaful charity and the amazing events they host; connecting people with waterways and educating young people about ocean protection. I’ve been supporting Seaful and a number of other charities, since becoming self-employed and here’s my reasons why… 1) To stay connected with and support causes which I believe in, and which align with my own personal values. 2) To escape the ‘busy-loneliness’ of being self-employed (if you know, you know) and connect with cool people who share my values too. 3) To maintain a sense of balance, and not become swamped with the need for revenue-based activity all the time. 4) Because volunteering is cool 😎 and yes, it’s OK to feel good about doing it too. Question… Do you #volunteer and if so, what do you enjoy most about it? Why not volunteer your comments below (see what I did there!)… #volunteer #charity #leadership #connection #people #values #beliefs #bethechange #businessowner #selfemployed #stayconnected #bluespace #oceanprotection #coaching

🌟 Volunteering to build First Aid Safe and Resilient Communities 🌟 There's an unparalleled satisfaction that comes from volunteering to deliver first aid and contribute to the safety and resilience of our communities. Every moment spent training, every life saved, and every person empowered with the knowledge of first aid is a step towards a stronger, more connected society. Volunteering in this capacity not only allows us to give back but also enriches our own lives with invaluable experiences and skills. It's a reminder that we all have the power to make a difference, no matter how small our actions may seem. Let's continue to support and encourage each other in these efforts, fostering a culture of care and preparedness. Together, we can build communities that are not only safe but also resilient and thriving. #Volunteering #FirstAid #CommunitySafety #Resilience #GivingBack

Volunteering a few hours a week can be so fulfilling…you meet new people and gain new skills, if you’re just starting out it helps with work experience and gaining a job…if you’re retired it helps keep the brain healthy and active…whilst the charity you volunteer for gains the asset that is you!! They then convert that to helping those in need = a win win situation! Consider what you can do with a couple of hours, you’ll be surprised at the rewards you gain, plus there’s free tea and coffee & biscuits, and in the winter you save on the heating bill whilst you’re there!!! #volunteering #makeadifference #charity #salvationarmy #volunteersweek
