The fire service, ambulance service, clubs, conservation groups, parents of schoolchildren, church groups, meals on wheels drivers, foodbanks ... the list is varied and almost endless. Maybe they volunteer to support a cause close to their hearts or simply to engage in their community. People volunteer because it makes a difference. Both career related and non-related volunteer work on a CV can showcase your skills, interests and values as well as indicating a willingness to work in a team. Choose an organisation or issue that has meaning for you, make change, help out where you can.
