Our volunteers play a crucial role in helping us support spinal cord injured people. Without them we couldn\u2019t do what we do. So if you\u2019re looking to help us through giving your time, you\u2019re in the right place.<\/p>\n
With more than 3 million volunteers working in the health and social care sector alone, it\u2019s crucial to helping people get the support they need. Volunteers help us to best deliver our services to those affected by spinal cord injury.<\/p>\n
Research commissioned by the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) shows growing evidence that volunteering boosts mental health and wellbeing. In the \u2018Time Well Spent\u2019 survey (Jan 2019) the most common benefits volunteers reported were enjoyment, a sense of personal achievement and feeling that they make a difference. Three-quarters of those surveyed say it improves their mental health and two-thirds reported feeling less isolated<\/p>\n
Volunteering is a superb way of learning new skills \u2013 and helps many people build experience for paid-work. It\u2019s also a brilliant way of giving back, switching off, and meeting new people<\/p>\n
The number of volunteers in health and social care in the UK is estimated at more than 3 million people, according to research commissioned by NCVO<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
