The gift of voluntary activity is the key element which builds neighbourhoods and communities. Volunteering can be in any form or shape. It is a Gift of Time, Enthusiasm and Commitment.
Many people prefer to work together in organisations for a common purpose.
The National Centre for Volunteering is a good resource about volunteering in general. Fareham Volunteer Bureau aims to link Volunteers with Voluntary Organisations. The Bureau has a large number of tasks on its waiting list and has links with over 40 organisations. There is a job for everyone's skills. After potential volunteers have expressed their interests they are asked to complete an application form.
