Why do I volunteer
I recently shared a post on why people volunteer. Before you read this, I highly recommend checking that out. I spoke about the many reasons people volunteer, myself included. However, I did not go into depth on the reason why I personally started volunteering then, so I thought I would take the opportunity now to talk about this now..

Why do we volunteer?
I’m Reema – a young person who fell in love with volunteering and the charity sector. I’ve been volunteering for as long as I can remember, and yet I still wish I had started sooner! There is so much to learn from volunteering and so much to experience that you can never get bored of it. At one point, I was volunteering for over 7 charities at one time – giving my time and talents to them whenever and wherever I could. Inspired by the 2012 London Olympics, I think volunteering has really grown across the country and it’s great to see other people passionately doing what I love doing. And why wouldn’t you?
