Unsurprisingly there is a link between volunteering and improved wellbeing

It was world mental health day recently and here’s a couple of interesting related articles:

Sir Stuart Etherington, chief executive of NCVO, outlined how volunteering can improve mental health.

The Wildlife Trusts also published evidence that supports the link between volunteering and improved wellbeing. A survey amongst their volunteers showed that two-thirds noticed improved wellbeing within six weeks. Half of those who started with low mental wellbeing reported improved wellbeing after 12 weeks.

Well worth a read.
