Volunteering ideas

[Gem]

I volunteered with conservation groups in my area and at the local country park. They do prefer you to do a full days work but you can go along with the rest of the volunteers and leave when you need to if you take your own transport to the site you are working on. Incredibly rewarding, hands on, out-doorsy work helping to maintain the local environment.

I would recommend it to anyone, I did it after loosing my job and to get my fitness back after being unwell for a few months and it really got me back into the swing of things.

Look up the contact details for these sorts of places in your area and give them a call, in my experience they are always after happy helpers

edit - I forgot tto mention - you don't need any prior experience with this sort of thing and certainly don't need green fingers (particularly if you are doing rhoddy clearance)
