Volunteering experience impresses employers. It shows you're a positive, motivated person and you use your time constructively.
In order to get into some jobs employers will expect you to have done some volunteering - for example environmental conservation, the media and social work. Volunteering gives you essential hands-on experience and shows you're committed to this area of work.
If you've been out of the workplace for a while, through volunteering you can also learn valuable transferable skills like team-working, communication skills and time management.
We are always looking for volunteers to help support our projects, if you think you can give us some of your time...
