Volunteering has many benefits. For example, it can be very rewarding to engage with something worthwhile, you can improve your health and well-being through meaningful social contact and you might even enhance your career prospects by something new.
CFO, alongside other organisations, offer training and information to strengthen and support community groups, volunteering and community led social action.
