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

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 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.
