Do something kind for a friend or stranger. Thank someone, smile or say hello. Give your time to a community group or help a neighbour.
Helping others can give you a sense of purpose and belonging, build friendships and make your community a better place.
Below are some suggested resources for volunteering options, but there might also be opportunities in your own community via local council or community pages.

Go Volunteer
Why Volunteer? Don’t just make a living – make a difference, as well. There is a great deal of satisfaction that comes from making a difference to people in your local community. Volunteering offers many other rewards too. You can learn new skills and gain valuable experience in a wide range of areas that may or may not be related to your paid work. It’s also a great way to meet new people who share your interests.
