About Giving
Giving to others can increase our self-worth, and research shows it has been linked to increased life satisfaction.
How can we give?
Work placements
Whilst at college, you will undertake work experience placements. This will not only aid your development of employability skills, but by giving your time, you are also giving back to your community.
How can we give?
Giving time
- Speak to your Learning Mentor or a member of the LIVE team if you want to get involved.
- If you are able, you could donate a few items to a foodbank or donate unwanted items to a charity.
- You can donate blood here and save a life.
- You could give your time to a neighbour, relative or friend.
- You could give to the community by doing a litter pick, or planting trees.
- Or you could find voluntary work here through Vinspired or the National Council for Voluntary Organisations.
- Random acts of kindness are beneficial to our wellbeing. Find ideas, research, blogs and quotes about kindness here.
