How you want to help or benefit the community or nation?

1. Volunteer

Volunteering energy and skills to a local organization is a great way to give back to
your community. Whether a hospital, food bank, youth group, senior’s home, or
animal shelter there are tons of local organizations that would benefit from your
time. A quick search online will help find local opportunities. Or, contact
organizations you’re interested in helping out to be put in touch with their local
team.

2. Donate Blood

With one donation you can save many lives, yet just one patient could require
multiple donors. For heart surgery it’s up to five. Leukemia treatments, as many as
eight donors a week. Emergency care for a car accident can use up to 50. Every
donation makes a difference in someone’s life, and what greater gift could you
give? Plus, they’ll give you a juice and a cookie. Everyone wins, so schedule your
next donation today.

3. Shop Local
Shopping local invests in your community. Spending money locally supports the
local economy and your neighbors — by keeping money in your neighborhood,
where it can be reinvested again through other shops and services. It’s a cycle that
keeps on giving.

4. Adopt a Neighbor

You don’t have to go far or orchestrate grand gestures to make an impact on

someone’s life. Whether the older man from down the street who lives alone, or the
young mother (of toddlers) on the corner, there are folks in your neighborhood who
could use a hand. Maybe you help shovel after a big storm, take them to the grocery
store, or mow the lawn. It might not even matter what you do as long as you show
you care.

5. Organize a Charitable Event

Find a cause you’re passionate about and organize on its behalf. Maybe you raise
money for a senior’s program, or collect food donations for a community pantry. If
you want to help but you’re stuck for ideas reach out to the organization you ‘d like
to help — they likely have suggestions on hand to pick from, or inspire your own.

What are the important hurdles due to that you are not actively
participate in the community welfare?

Some common barriers that can prevent us from participating in the community are
our physical health, attitude, lack of support, and lack of knowledge about
opportunities. Poor physical health often prevents us from feeling like going out of
our homes and participating in social activities. Along with this, if we experience
changes in our mobility, physical accessibility can be a barrier to community
participation. For example, if we began to use a mobility device in our older age,
some community buildings and environments may be difficult for us to access with
wheelchairs or walkers. Therefore, we need to be mindful in planning our trips.

Some common reasons on why we do not participate in community activities as we

get older are because: First, we do not like changes in our daily routine. Second,
we fear that we might waste time doing something we do not enjoy. Other times,
we do not participate in community activities as frequently as we could, simply
because we do not have sufficient support or we are unaware of the available
opportunities in our communities.

So! We know that being social and participating in the community is important and
we also understand that there are several common barriers to that participation.
Now we need to ask: How exactly can we overcome these barriers?

What is your contribution for the community till now & what
problems you face during your work?
Supporting your local community can bring a whole host of benefits to you and the
people around you. Lending a helping hand can help you to make new friends,
learn new skills, advance your career and, most importantly, give something back.

Support local businesses

Local businesses are an important part of local communities that are always under
pressure from bigger national and multi-national competitors.

The best ways to support local businesses is to spend money with them, but there
are other ways to help:

 Tell your friends and family about your favorite local businesses.
 Follow and support local businesses on social media.
 Leave positive reviews.

Tidy up

Small things like litter picking and gardening can help to make your local area a
nicer place to live for everyone.
Keep Britain Tidy help connect #LitterHeroes to organize clean-ups in their
communities, but there’s nothing to stop you organizing your own using real life
contacts or social media.

If you spot bigger issues in your community - like graffiti, fly-tipping, fly-posting,
potholes or abandoned cars – you can use Love Clean Streets to report it to your
local authority and get it sorted out.

Help your neighbors

Charity starts at home, and community starts with everyone around you. Many
people suffer financial, physical or psychological problems in silence.

Loneliness was identified by ex-Prime Minister Theresa May as “one of the

greatest public health challenges of our time”. It’s estimated that up to a fifth of all
UK adults feel lonely most or all of the time. It’s often linked with psychological
problems, but it is also associated with a significantly higher risk of disease and
mortality.

Take the time to get to know the people around you and see how you can help
them. It could be planning a budget, doing the food shopping or just having a chat.
You never know how much a little of your time can help someone in need.

Donate things

Helping the community doesn’t have to mean donating time or money, charities
can benefit from your unwanted possessions.

Consider donating unwanted clothing, jewelry, media, books and homeware to

charity shops. The British Heart Foundation – who raise money to fund research
into cures and treatments for heart and circulatory diseases – even offer to collect
items like these for free.

If you can spare some money local charities are always in need. When you give,
make sure your money goes to the right place by:

 Check fundraising materials for charity name, registered number and

landline contact number.
 Check the ID badge of any street collectors and ensure that tins or buckets
are sealed and undamaged.
 Faced Problems:

1. Lack of trust

Trust is crucial to teamwork, and it starts with people knowing each other. Team
members absolutely need to be acquainted, both professionally and personally,
particularly in projects where tensions will run high at some point. Otherwise,
members won’t understand each other, they won’t want to engage because they
haven’t made that human connection and they won’t fully trust each other.

2. Conflict and tension

Conflict or a difference of opinion can be healthy and, if carefully managed,

can trigger useful debates. It can make people think differently, expanding
knowledge and insight; innovation can happen and results flourish. Different
opinions are not a bad thing. It’s how we handle the conflict that makes a
difference. 

3. Not sharing information

Knowledge is not power – unless it’s shared. Project team members all bring
a unique set of skills, knowledge, experience and wisdom to the table. Effective
project teams fearlessly share regularly and generously for the benefit of everyone
and for the benefit of the project’s success. This makes the capability of the whole
team grow and gives the team more power. 

4. Low engagement 

Team engagement is crucial to business success. If engaged, team members on a

given project will be interested in what they do, committed to the project mission
and willing to go the extra mile. They are there in body as well as mentally and
emotionally. The key to engagement is involvement – by involving others you
make it impossible to stay detached.

5. Lack of transparency
Without transparency, trust will suffer – both within the project team and with
the end client. Transparency is becoming the presumed norm in project and
programmed management and expectations are growing. It starts at the top: the
more senior you are, the more responsibility you have to be a role model for
this. Employees will follow the leader’s behaviors, good or bad. When this is done
well it can have a positive cascade effect throughout the organization.

What kind of support, situation or facilities you are required, so you

can help or benefit the community or nation?

Community workers (also known as community development workers) help people

who are marginalized to tackle the problems that face their local area. They
sometimes work with communities as a whole, but they may also focus on specific
groups, such as women or refugees. An important part of their role is to represent
the voices and needs of target groups and disadvantaged communities to
policymakers at local and national level.

Work tends to be team-based, and community workers will work closely with other
organizations such as the police, social workers, schools, probation officers and
other agencies. Typical responsibilities include:

 working with community groups to explore their needs and abilities, and
to agree on solutions
 providing projects to support sections of the community with issues such
as mental health or drug use
 helping communities to share knowledge and resources effectively
 setting up new services
 raising public awareness about important issues
 assessing the different needs of a community and setting up resources to
meet them
 recruiting and training paid and voluntary staff
 attending meetings and presenting verbal and written reports
  managing finance and payroll
 making funding applications.
The job of a community worker can require regular unsocial hours, including
evenings and weekends. Community workers operate mainly in disadvantaged
communities within inner-city areas, rural areas and small towns. Local travel can
be a regular feature of the job.

Typical employers of community workers

Local authorities
Charities and not-for-profit organizations
Local urban and rural development groups
Organizations concerned with particular groups (such as young people, refugees or
asylum seekers) or issues (such as unemployment, migrant rights or drugs)
Jobs are advertised on social media and community and issues-focused websites.
Local authorities will advertise jobs on their websites, as will larger charities.
Before you can be offered a job, you'll need to undergo a DBS (Disclosure and
Barring Service) check.
Career development in community work can be limited as promotion usually
depends on staffing levels. Many people make lateral moves to work on new
projects where they can see that their skills will make an impact.
