Step 3: What skills can be gained

Aiming high

... through volunteering?

Whatever stage you’re at in life, there are lots of ways to learn new skills through volunteering. We all have it in us to develop and succeed, and it’s up to us to take control and make choices that will help us overcome any obstacles.

These are just some of the skills you can improve through volunteering:

• Customer service and call centre skills volunteering for a charity helpline
• Retail or shop assistant skills volunteering for a charity shop
• Care and support skills volunteering for a hospital or charity
• Computing and IT skills volunteering for a Further Education establishment
• Health and safety or first aid skills volunteering for an emergency response service
• Coaching, transport and events skills volunteering for a local football or sports club
• Gardening skills and fitness benefits volunteering for an environmental charity
• Creative and organisational skills volunteering for an arts and crafts group

So what are you waiting for?
Your future is in your hands.
