VOLUNTEERS ARE IN SHORT SUPPLY

No matter where you go, volunteers are hard to find. Organisations that have helped for years to keep the home fires burning are shutting their doors; no volunteers are applying.

Yet the numbers suffering from the damaging, brain-freezing, isolating condition called loneliness are multiplying, and multiplying around the world.

You hear the sadness and loneliness on the buses, in the doctor’s and hospital waiting areas, in schools and universities, on park benches. So many sufferers are dying of the curable disease of loneliness.

Yet the cure is there; you can afford it, and it is so satisfying. Volunteer. Give it a try; take the first step: say “May I help you?” Chatting and helping one another, combining your strengths and weaknesses, is so rewarding.

Friendships are made, many lasting whole lifetimes. You will never be turned away as not needed. You will be welcomed with open arms and gratitude, with whatever you are able or willing to offer as a VOLUNTEER.

Then you can start really living. There is never an overcapacity of volunteers. You will always be needed.
