Giving Something Back

Do you like the idea of volunteering but are not quite sure where to start?

We appreciate that there can perhaps be more value in volunteering for your chosen good cause than any financial contribution, and fully support our employees if they wish to invest their time in aid of a charitable organisation.

Thinking about how you want to benefit from volunteering is a good start to finding an opportunity that’s right for you. Benefits include:

• Gain confidence. Volunteering can help you gain confidence by giving you the chance to try something new and build a real sense of achievement.
• Make a difference. Volunteering can have a real and valuable positive affect on people, communities and society in general.
• Meet people. Volunteering can help you meet different kinds of people and make new friends.
• Be part of a community. Volunteering can help you feel part of something outside your friends and family.
• Learn new skills. Volunteering can help you learn new skills, gain experience and sometimes even qualifications.
• Take on a challenge. Through volunteering you can challenge yourself to try something different, achieve personal goals, practice using your skills and discover hidden talents.
• Have fun! Most volunteers have a great time, regardless of why they do it.

How do I get involved?

Visit the Do-It.org website to search volunteering opportunities in your area, where you can search for further links and possible options by inputting your interests and skills.

The Giving Something Back team can also offer advice and guidance should you wish to explore this possibility.

Remember to email us at community@bibbylinegroup.co.uk to let us know what you’re up to so we can feature it online and in our Bibby News. You never know, a little publicity can help your charity get noticed for future support!
