I want to volunteer
You can volunteer to do just about anything you can think of! You can volunteer to rescue people from
mountains, to farm organically, build houses, write a magazine, judge criminals as a
magistrate, office administration, be a trustee or fix computers. There are organisations out
there you can join that cater for every interest and minority group imaginable.
Volunteering is about choice. Choose something you like doing, or you want to learn to do. Give some
thought to what you might be able to give others and what you might get out of volunteering yourself.
Choose to work with people, an issue, or organisation you care about or are interested in - Decide how
much time you can afford to commit each week - don't overload yourself. Think about what you are good
at. Think about what you would like to do with your time. Talk to friends about it. Talk to someone
who volunteers already - what do they do? Do they know any other volunteers? Does it appeal to you?
To register as a volunteer
Register online by going directly to the "Do-it" web site -
While you are there you can also search for volunteering opportunities. Alternatively, phone Volunteer Centre Greenwich and book
yourself an appointment. We can help you to search appropriate volunteering opportunities and guide you through the deciding process.
