Why Volunteer? The Transformative Power of Giving Back

Written by Mandeep Nijjer

Volunteering isn’t just about helping others; it’s a powerful way to grow, connect, and make a lasting impact. Whether you’re mentoring young people, supporting a charity, or participating in community projects, volunteering benefits both you and the world around you.


Improve Mental Wellbeing

Helping others has been shown to reduce stress and boost happiness. The sense of purpose and fulfillment that comes with volunteering can enhance your mental health and leave you feeling more connected to the world around you.


Make a Difference Locally

Volunteering gives you the chance to address important issues in your community. At GoVolHerts, we make it easy to find volunteering opportunities that match your interests, helping you contribute where it matters most.


Build Relationships and Networks

When you volunteer, you meet like-minded people who share your passion for making a difference. These connections often turn into lasting friendships and valuable professional networks. With GoVolHerts, you can connect with organisations and other volunteers across Hertfordshire, creating a strong community of change-makers.


Enhance Skills and Boost Your Career

Volunteering is an excellent way to gain practical experience in areas like befriending, mentoring, fundraising, trusteeship, and more. These skills not only enhance your CV but also make you a more adaptable and empathetic professional.
