Help out in a charity shop
If you have a few hours to spare regularly, a charity shop could need your help. From sorting donations to working on the till, it’s a great way to get out and meet people, help a good cause, and even earn skills to put on your CV.

Let’s face it, many of us spend too much time on social media. So why not turn that into a force for good by creating a group around your community or a cause you believe in, and chatting with others to organise events and raise funds.
