Volunteering is a great way to gain work experience, build contacts and give something back to individuals or communities. Volunteering at our Scunthorpe charity shop helps support mental health.
Reasons To Volunteer Scunthorpe
When you’re giving your time, skills and services, you deserve to get something back. Most of our volunteers have specific reasons for volunteering their time. Here is just a few reasons to become a volunteer:
Volunteering Scunthorpe – Learning new skills & valuable work experience
Whether you’re studying, starting a career, looking for work or trying to improve your promotion prospects. Volunteering can be a great way to learn and develop the skills you need, both practically and personally. We’ll offer training where it’s needed and help you find the resources and support you need.
Making new friends volunteering
Sometimes life changes leave us a little isolated. Maybe you’ve recently moved to a new area. Perhaps you’ve lost a partner. Or you might just have lost touch with people as their circumstances change. Volunteering reconnects you with your community and helps create new friendships that keep loneliness at bay.
Better physical & mental health and wellbeing by working as a volunteer
We know that keeping active, mentally as well as physically, has a powerful influence over our health and wellbeing. Most of our volunteers tell us the work they do has improved their mental health and sense of wellbeing. Volunteers also say that it has improved their physical health.
Giving something back by volunteering
Maybe you’ve benefited from volunteering services at some time in your life, or you’ve recently had first-hand experience of the support a charity can give. Perhaps you just feel like you’ve been fortunate, and you’d like to share that with others. Volunteering gives you that opportunity to give something back.
Improving your confidence by volunteering
Sometimes life can knock your confidence, for example losing a job or needing extended time off work. Sometimes people are just a little shy and want to improve their personal skills.
Volunteering gives you a change to find your feet in your own time and at your own pace, allowing you to build your confidence in a way that works for you.
Every individual has their own reason for volunteering and their own ideas about what it will do for them. There’s no right or wrong approach, it’s all about exploring the opportunities on offer and finding the one you know is right for you.
The most important thing about volunteering is that you should enjoy it on your own terms and that it’s a rewarding experience for you, as well as for the people you help.
Sense of connection to others in the community by Volunteering
Volunteering connects you directly with those around you, and is particularly beneficial for your local community and sense of belonging. Volunteering can help people feel less isolated in their surroundings and form meaningful connections with the people around them.

Mental health in the UK is grossly underfunded, with too many people receiving no help at all. Each year one in four UK residents experience a mental health problem, from mild depression right through to a more serious mental health condition.
These mental health problems often lead to hundreds of thousands of lives being put on hold or ruined, with thousands of tragic and unnecessary deaths. With the right support and treatment, mental illness doesn’t have to be a barrier to a fulfilling life.

Donating to a charity “Giving is not just about making a donation …its about making a difference”
Donating to the causes you care about not only benefits the charities themselves, it can be deeply rewarding too. Millions of people give to charity on a regular basis to support causes they believe in, as well as for the positive effect it has on their own lives.
The knowledge that you’re helping others is hugely empowering and, in turn, can make you feel happier and more fulfilled. Research has identified a link between making charity donations and increased activity in the area of the brain that registers pleasure – proving that as the old adage goes, it really is far better to give than to receive.
Having the power to improve the lives of others is, a privilege, and one that comes with its own sense of obligation. Acting on these powerful feelings of responsibility is a great way to reinforce our own personal values and feel like we’re living in a way that is true to our own ethical beliefs.
Why charity is important for everyone?
To help the vulnerable and make the world a better place for everyone, we all need to play our part in whatever way we can. That could be through volunteering your time or skills for a cause you care about, or even something as simple as being kind to strangers you meet in your day-to-day life. You can also help make a difference by donating what you can or what you do not need to charity.
While we like to believe we can make a difference on our own, sometimes we can do more together. The way charities are structured lets them use money raised to directly help people who need it on a larger scale than we can as individuals.
