Quick mum update... Mum is about to surpass 3 full days of volunteering!! That is 72 hours dedicated to improving the lives of older people in her community 🥹 #BemorelikeDebby I love getting a message like this from my wonderful mum. She throws on her Volunteero merch to make her weekly calls to the older people she befriends!! 💜 When we started Volunteero, Mum jumped at the opportunity to volunteer for one of our clients... partly to support me but also partly because she had always considered volunteering but never actually managed it. Mum is not alone. I speak to people daily who say they want to volunteer but always the reasons for not doing so are the same: 1. Don't know where to get started 🤔 2. Worried it won't be flexible 🤯 3. The process is poor 🫣 This is exactly why we do what we do. We want to get the world volunteering and we want the impact of volunteering to be higher by empowering volunteers to do more! p.s. if you wonder what she is on about when talking about my dad, he spends his days investigating conspiracy theories on some sketchy TV channels. #volunteering

CHILDREN UNDERSTAND WHAT #GIVINGBACK MEANS: Volunteering is for all of us😉. ✅ Building Community Bonds: By actively participating in community service, kids develop a sense of belonging and connection to their community. ✅ Life Skills Development: Volunteering teaches invaluable life skills, such as teamwork, problem-solving, and communication👍🏼. ✅ Fostering Gratitude: When kids engage in volunteering activities, they gain a deeper appreciation for the privileges they have. ✅ Empowerment Through Service: Volunteering empowers children to become agents of change in their own right🙌🏾. ✅ The Mama-Tee Community Fridge Project has a lot of kid volunteers🙌🏻. You can support your local community and bring the whole family along for the experience. Giving back is good for the soul. #mamateefridge #communityfridge #helpingothers #socialimpact #corporatesocialresponsibility #sharingiscaring
