I moved to a new city two weeks ago, and I'm looking at getting involved in all sorts of community events and initiatives. I always try to help out in my community where possible and I wish lots of other people would do the same. I'm wondering who here volunteers (or anything else) in their communities.
Before I moved cities, I volunteered with a local charity helping people with learning difficulties and disabilities learn to ride bikes safely on the roads. It was quite good fun, although a bit challenging at times. One guy was able to find a part-time job as a result though, so despite all the challenges it was worthwhile.
I was also a school governor for an Infant school near where I lived, which I really enjoyed. It was quite sad leaving as it was a fantastic school, and working with the children was a great experience which I'll miss dearly. I hope to continue being a school governor with another school if I can.
Does anyone here do anything to help out their town / community?
