This week is #volunteersweek and at Action West London we not only value volunteers that work with us but also encourage our clients to gain work experience through volunteering. Our chair of Trustees Tony Coyne recently talked about the importance of volunteering in local charities in his monthly blog post, here are some key points from that blog: 1. Local volunteers have a deep understanding of the unique needs and challenges facing their community. This insight allows charities to tailor their services to address specific issues effectively. 2. When people come together to support a common cause, it fosters a sense of unity and purpose. Volunteering creates opportunities for individuals to form relationships and strengthen social networks, which can lead to more resilient communities. 3. Volunteering can empower individuals by providing them with a platform to use and develop their skills. This can boost self-esteem and contribute to personal growth, which in turn benefits the community as a whole. 4. Local community volunteers are more likely to stay committed to a cause over the long term, ensuring sustained support and impact for charities. Charities, localism, and community volunteering are all interlinked and play an important role in shaping strong, vibrant, and supportive communities. By working together, these components can create lasting positive change and enhance the well-being of individuals and families in the community. Read the full blog at https://buff.ly/4aO77Un

Myth ❌ “Volunteering is a waste of my time” Facts ✅ One of the biggest misconceptions about volunteering is that it isn't beneficial for the volunteers. However, NCVO found quite the opposite to be true. 92% of people who had given time volunteering in 2023 were satisfied with their experience, and 75% of people said that it had helped with their mental health and well-being. These stats show just how valuable volunteering can be for you, let alone the charity or organisation you are helping! 🤩 It's Volunteers Week 2024, so be sure to share this post to raise awareness of the amazing benefits volunteering brings! #volunteersweek #mythbusting

This week we're celebrating 40 years of Volunteers' Week! 🤩 Each and every one of our volunteers plays a massive part in what we're able to achieve every single day! Without them, we simply couldn't treat as many poorly pets as we do. From sorting through stock donations and getting them ready to be displayed on the shop floor, to helping our lovely customers find their perfect second-hand pieces, there’s always something fun to do and new skills to learn 👏 Why not give volunteering a go for yourself? http://pdsa.me/U7cA [Visual description: A series of clips of volunteers in various PDSA charity shops. The clips involve them sorting through clothes on the shop floor, sorting through donated books, arranging the shops displays and steaming clothes.] #VolunteersWeek #Volunteer #Volunteers #Volunteering #VolunteerOpportunities #Charity #CharityShop

At Flight, we’re of the opinion that one of the most profound things you can do is give back. Though we may tend to think about how volunteering positively impacts those on the receiving end, the truth is everyone benefits. In fact, according to Project Helping, 94% of volunteers said volunteering improved their mood, and 76% said volunteering made them feel healthier. It’s what the youths call a “win-win”. 😀 There are a lot of different ways you can support your team’s volunteer efforts. You could offer an allotment of days or hours specifically for volunteering – which is what we do at Flight. You could do other things like offer to match charitable donations, or if you’re in one location you could even consider having a service day with your team to spend time together outside the office and give back to your local community. No matter the approach, leaving space and supporting your staff giving back will always be to your benefit. #flightcx #volunteering #community #givingback #supportyourcommunity #customersupport
