Did you know that 40% of 11 year-olds in England, from communities facing disadvantage, leave primary school unable to read to the expected standard? Through Chapter One UK, a number of my colleagues and I ale volunteering online for 30 minutes a week to help children facing disadvantage improve their reading skills. The whole experience is fun and rewarding and so easy to fit into my working week. Ask me anything about my experience - happy to answer any questions. #volunteersweek #chapteronevolunteer #employeevolunteering #onlinevolunteering #corporatepartnerships #employeewellbeing

It's International Microvolunteering Day! Microvolunteering is short, bite-sized acts of volunteerism that can be done in a short amount of time, such as a few minutes or a few hours, to make a positive impact. Let's explore a few of the great benefits volunteering can have: 1. Activity for your mind and body. Volunteering can be a way to stay active at any age, whether you are in school, working, retired or anywhere in between. You can pass your time in a productive way that helps you keep in touch with and build up your community. 2. The opportunity to learn. No matter where or how you volunteer, the experience will open you up to new people and environments – which is always a great way to learn new skills and ideas that can apply to other areas of your life. 3. Patience and understanding. Opening up to new opportunities is fun and exciting, but it’s not always easy. Volunteering and giving your time can be challenging, but it can ultimately teach you how to be more patient and understanding of those around you. 4. The joy of helping others. This might seem like a no-brainer, but while volunteering can offer volunteers themselves many benefits, the biggest benefit is for those they serve and help every day. The selfless giving of volunteering spreads joy for everyone involved in the process. #NationalVolunteerMonth #HumanServices #MakeaDifference #MicrovolunteeringDay

Work-life balance and volunteering: how do you get involved? I have been involved with Ruhrwerk e.V. for 15 years and have learnt a lot about the importance of gratitude. A recent Harvard study now shows that gratitude can increase life expectancy. Volunteering not only enriches our lives, but also strengthens our well-being - which in my opinion also has a positive impact on the job. So it's a win-win for both sides How do you volunteer and how does it affect your work-life balance? #WorkLifeBalance #Volunteering #Thankfulness #HarvardStudy #Ruhrwerk Click here for the study: https://lnkd.in/egJQbJX7
