Happy #VolunteersWeek to all who give up a bit of their time and experience for others. Truth is, it is not all about giving... there is so much to be to be gained by volunteering.
Of people who #volunteer:
🧠 77% say it has improved their mental health
👟 53% say that it has improved their physical health
🏅 74% say it has given them more confidence (and that rises to 84% in the 18-24yr old demographic)
Volunteering with The Scouts is the chance I get to work with young people (Cubs in my case!) to develop vital skills that will help them in life.
Skills like #Teamwork, #Planning, #Communication, and running around in woodland trying not to get captured by other groups of kids.
Give it a go!
This #VolunteersWeek, we're celebrating all of our amazing volunteers. A BIG thank you to all. You make all the difference to young people's lives. https://bit.ly/3x0jk9S
