Four things worth thinking about

The right role usually sits where these four meet. You don’t need firm answers, a rough idea is enough to get going.

What you enjoy

Talking with people, being outdoors, organising things, making things, or working quietly behind the scenes. Enjoyment is what keeps volunteering going.

When does time pass quickly for you?

The skills you’d like to use

Skills from your working life, ones you use at home without thinking about it, or something you’d like to learn. Some people want to use their expertise; others want a complete change.

Which would you rather do: use what you know, or try something new?

Where you can volunteer

Near home, near work, somewhere you already pass through each week, or online from wherever you are. Many roles can be done remotely.

How far would you realistically travel, and how would you get there?

How much time you have

An hour a week, a few hours a month, or the occasional one-off day. Every amount is useful to a charity, as long as it’s one you can keep up.

What could you still manage in six months’ time?
