This could be through volunteering
at your local library – or volunteering
at a local parkrun; taking part in
a community litter clear-up –
or taking part in a project
to reinvent a neglected
corner of your
neighbourhood;
becoming a
school governor

Lives;
Shakuntla Gittins is Ealing’s
foster carer of the year.
Co uld you foster?
visiting someone who is elderly or
housebound – or simply just recycling
more at home.
There are so many ways to do
something good. By doing so, you
will be helping others – and yourself.
Volunteering has been recognised
as having many positive benefits for
mental health and is also a handy way
to build your CV and social circle. It will
also make the place we all live or work
a better place to be.
