Amongst the hustle and bustle of our day to day lives, our daily routine can become mundane and leave us seeking a new experience. If you are looking for something exciting and new, volunteering is a great way to share a passion or interest, meet new people and help the community.

At Bookkeeping Matters, we are passionate about volunteering. The benefits are two-fold and can benefit you just as much as the cause you choose to help. Here are 3 benefits of volunteering in your community and why we encourage others to get involved including:

• Give back and make a positive difference to others
• Gain new skills, knowledge and experience
• Enjoy quality time away from work

Give back and make a positive difference to others

There are numerous reasons why people choose to become a volunteer. For some, it is to be part of a charity or organization that has impacted their life, either directly or non-directly. No matter your reason, by volunteering you are giving something back to your community and making a positive difference to others.

Gain new skills, knowledge and experience

While helping others as a volunteer, you can also be helping yourself by gaining new skills, knowledge and experience or developing existing skills and knowledge. It is fabulous to feel part of a team, something that many small business owners or sole traders may miss running their own business. Volunteering can also help to improve your social skills.

Enjoy quality time away from work

We can easily become caught up in our day-to-day busy lifestyle. Volunteering can be a great way to enjoy quality time away from work and can help to improve your mental and physical health. It provides an opportunity to socialise, meet new people, make new friends plus boost your confidence and self-esteem. Speak to local charities and groups in your community about how you can become involved as a volunteer.
