VOLUNTEERING IS…

If you’re doing something to help other people and you’re not doing it to make money, then that’s volunteering.  Whether you’re putting out cones at sports events, coaching, organising the school ball, washing dogs at the SPCA, planting trees or picking up rubbish at the local park, you’re making contribution to your community and that counts.
