Why Volunteer?

With busy lives, it can be hard to find time to volunteer. However, the benefits of volunteering can be enormous. Volunteering will offer support to the operation of Sanctus, offer vital help to vulnerable people and help the wider community.

You can also benefit from volunteering. Giving to others can help protect your mental and physical health. It can reduce stress, combat depression, keep you mentally stimulated, and provide a sense of purpose. It can help you to find friends, connect with the community, learn new skills, and even advance your career.

While it’s true that the more you volunteer, the more benefits you are likely to experience, volunteering doesn’t have to involve a long-term commitment or taking a huge amount of time out of your busy day. Giving just a small amount of time can help those in need and improve your health and happiness.

Happy volunteers

A few kind words from one of our volunteers.

“Volunteering at Sanctus has been hugely rewarding. I genuinely feel I have had a unique opportunity to help people and impact their lives. Alongside that, I feel I understand and can emphasise with people more and I can contribute to ideas and debate on the required solutions. Most of all though, I have found it highly personally rewarding and have grown because of it. Thank you to everyone at Sanctus for what you do, but also for making me feel so welcome, you are an amazing group of people and I am very proud to be part of Sanctus”
