I have found volunteering useful as it has given me experience in the area I wish to work in and I have learned new skills.
I would recommend volunteering as it gives a person confidence and helps them meet new people and establish new friendships as well as gain experience in their chosen field of work. Also it gives them hope of a job and not just confine them to he benefits system.
Darren is currently studying for a Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Retail Operations.
I am finding volunteering very interesting, meeting new people, learning more about myself and ways to develop.
The staff are very friendly and easily approachable and there is access to learn about Health and Social Care.
