The next generation of volunteers
1st August 2006, 7:57 am
Welcome to my first ever blog posting! With a partner who loves computers almost as much as he loves me, I have been exposed to the techie bloggers for some time now. At the moment I volunteer for a local (Worcester) community centre, but it wasn’t actually that easy to find voluntary work as I work full time at a university. I absolutely love volunteering - for me it is all about gaining a sense of belonging to a community, for which I must thank Bath Place in Leamington. I increasingly think that I could do so much more, and there seems to be a real shift towards generating income, through the creation of a social enterprise, as a means to become more independent. I’d like to know how anyone else out there took the first plunge into this complex world.
