Do you do voluntary work? If yes, why? If no, would you like to and why?
No because I don't like to help people :( I'm so stuck up lmao
If I hadn't have found a job by July, I would do volunteer work. It boosts up chances of getting future jobs or something :)
I donate money well my parents do.
I was meant to help old people for school but i called in sick and went town :)
I love it. I do it as often and whenever I can. Its a great way to meet some new people too and make good friends. I volunteered at a care home for several months last year. I also went to Nottingham for a week to volunteer at Vitalise. That was great fun. Its tiring but very enjoyable. I had to get up at 6:30am for morning briefings, then wake up our assigned guest (who were all disabled and/or very old). Shower them, dress them, feed them and take them out on the day trip if they want to go to that one or stay in with them. Basically everything for them. I made some great friends there. It doesn't sound all that great when you read it, but when you go there, its amazing.
Also volunteered at hospitals.
I remember standing in the middle of Nottingham city center with another friend. My guest for the day couldn't eat on his own etc. My friends guest was blind. We were stood in the middle just trying to feed them and describe the surroundings to them.
I couldn't do that :L
If like a family member couldn't do anything for themselves id put them in a home... not being harsh but i couldn't do it all and id feel better a professional doing it :]
wow saurav sounds good. I always mean to do stuff but really the closest thing to me is a hospice, and I don't really know if they want me there while they're trying to pass in peace. But my guide group meets in the hall there and we try to raise money for the hospice a lot, so I tend to help the little ones do that.
Nope. What for? I have a full time job...
You do realise people with full time jobs still volunteer?Quote:

Yah. I volunteer for Stonewall on their Youth Volunteering Programme. I go into schools and tell kids it's okay to be gay.
no, i don't like doing work unless i get something out of it in the end.
I volunteered at oxfam at first for my DofE award but then I carried on because it became a regular thing I did with my mate and we like had jokes while helping people irl :)
I also donate to charity every month with my own money :')
Well if I'm bored doing nothing else then I wouldn't mind volunteering for something
Omg I've got visions of you singing "It's ohhhhhhhhh-kay................. to be gayyyyyy"Quote:

It's the thought that counts love <3

You learn skills while volunteering. All of these help you make money.Quote:

However, I haven't volunteered cos I just dont know where to start looking!
