Volunteering
<p>An overwhelming 88% of brits don’t feel part of their community, while 1 in 5 (19%) feel lonely. That’s according</p> <p>to a recent survey by the charity Oxfam, in which people have opened up about how they really feel. Alongside</p> <p>these feelings of isolation and loneliness, almost two-thirds of brits (61%) admitted that they do not feel happy,</p> <p>together with only 10% feeling connected to those around them.</p> <p>In 2018/19, 22% of people aged 16 and over in England took part in formal volunteering at least once a monthi.</p> <p>The new research reveals that making new connections is one of the key reasons people volunteer, with 42% of</p> <p>those surveyed believing that making new friends is the biggest benefit of volunteering. Over a quarter (26%) see</p> <p>giving back to their community as a huge draw, with 38% motivated by the prospect of doing something meaningful.</p> <p>Furthermore, nearly half of Millennials (46%) stated that learning new skills would encourage them to volunteer,</p> <p>and a further 30% emphasized the importance of having a laugh.</p> <p>Whilst many benefits would motivate people to volunteer, including an overwhelming 95% of respondents agreeing</p> <p>that volunteering benefits the community, there are many perceptions that could be keeping people away. One</p> <p>thing holding some people back is the perceived commitment required to volunteer, as one third (30%) of</p> <p>respondents felt that volunteering would require too much commitment, alongside the one fifth who believe</p> <p>volunteering requires a sizeable time investment.</p> <p>Moreover, approximately 1 in 20 believe that volunteering is exclusively for older people, lonely people or</p> <p>unemployed people. Whilst 1 in 5 (18%) of the UK feel ashamed by the lack of volunteering they participate in,</p> <p>the perceptions on ‘how’ or ‘who’ can volunteer may be barring enthusiastic brits from supporting their</p> <p>community, developing personal skills and building new relationships.</p>
