The Power Of Volunteers

Here at the Beneficial Foundation we love Volunteers. According to our volunteers they love us too. The Beneficial Foundation, as a charity values the time each and every volunteer dedicates to us, and without kind hearted volunteers we know that we wouldn't be where we are.

As a volunteer with the Beneficial Foundation we’ll try to get you working in the areas that interest you most. Whatever skills you may have to share, you can be sure that we will utilise them in the best way possible.

Summer, who has been volunteering with us for over a year now, is currently working on the Big Bene Appeal which is the name of our annual fundraising campaign. For this project she often finds herself using her creative ability for designing advertisements on Photoshop or making things to sell for example the ‘Blind Date With A Book’ event which took place over valentines. Summer volunteers in her spare time on Thursday’s after College. At Portsmouth College she studies Geography, Business Studies and English Literature.

Not everyone is willing to just give up their spare time to volunteer but a lot of the time people don’t know the difference just a little bit of their time could make. Volunteers often describe their time here as rewarding in so many ways. Not only will volunteering look excellent on your CV but you’ll also be able to pick up so many new skills to support you with your future prospects.

We’re looking for skilled individuals to work in areas like gardening, wood work, marketing, catering, fundraising and social enterprise.

According to a survey by Reed Employment 73% of Britain’s top businesses said they would rather employ someone who has volunteered before.
