Volunteering is simple and fulfiling. It’s about giving some of your
free time to do something useful for other people in and around Essex, without getting paid – apart from your expenses.
In return you get the satisfaction of knowing that your time and effort has been well spent and much appreciated by those you have helped. In addition, volunteering can be a great way to meet new people, learn new skills and gain new experience.
