Ever feel like giving something back to the community? Volunteering for a worthy cause is a great way to meet new people, put something amazing on your CV and learn new skills. If you have little time to spare, then get a warm, fuzzy feeling by offering your help for a good cause such as:
Animal Shelter
All animal lovers out there will know how much aid and assistance to such centres need to care for rescued animals of all kinds. There are various ways you can help, from answering the phone, doing some admin or helping to clean up.
Clinical trials
Do you want to help human progress in the field of medical technology and health? If the current pandemic has inspired you to give back, participating in a clinical trial may be right up your street. Often trials seek healthy adults to give up a few weeks of their time to attend the clinic and receive some kind of treatment that is safe. The participants were very well looked after, and most trials offer financial compensation to be involved.

Homeless shelter
Soup kitchens and other services operate in all the major cities, so why not spend time raising funds or distributing hot food for your local homeless charity. If you enjoy cooking, meeting new people and taking care of the vulnerable members of society, then this could be a good opportunity to make a real difference.
