Leeds Black Elders Association recognises the vital contribution that volunteers can make. We value this contribution and are committed to follow good practice guidelines. It should be acknowledged and recognised that volunteering should be a two way process. Not only does the volunteer contribute to the work of the organisation, but they can also gain something in return.
There are many reasons for volunteering, some which are:-
- Volunteers can bring different perspectives to the work of the organisation, often one that reflects the views of clients and or the local community.
- Volunteers bring credibility to an organisation. Giving their time for free, suggests that the work must be of value and they are giving something back to the community.
- It is also a chance to meet new people, gain new skills and experience and a sense of satisfaction from the work they have done.
