Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community, learn new skills and meet people. It can even be a stepping stone to a new career – and it’s good for your wellbeing too.
With the festive season approaching, volunteering can be a meaningful way to give back and spread a little kindness in your community.
Gabby is a young volunteer at St Michael’s Hospice in St Leonards and shared: “The things you will gain are exponential. It will improve your self-esteem and be extremely beneficial for your career goals and ambitions.”
Across East Sussex there are lots of different organisations and services looking to recruit new volunteers. There is often flexibility in the hours, location, length and frequency of positions, and industry.
Whether you want to work with animals, adults, children or computers, there’s a role for you! Become a volunteer and help make East Sussex a great place to live!
