Volunteer Week – some opportunities for you
As we all know this week is volunteer week, and Connecting Choices has always been one to promote volunteering opportunities not only as they look amazing on a participants CV but because of enormous feeling of doing something good that we get from volunteering and helping other people.
Add to this the life skills, training and overall knowledge that volunteering gives and individual.
So to celebrate we are sharing a few opportunities in the local area but also trying to point you in the right direction to find more.
