I have recently become a volunteer at CSV Action Sunderland & Durham Millennium Volunteers. Since being on the programme, I have learned new skills, met new people and become more involved with my local community. I feel I have gained confidence and made a difference to people's lives. I've also gained skills that will help me in the future.
As part of the scheme, I have participated in many activities, including taking housebound elderly people out on a day trip and designing posters for a text-messaging helpline for young people. Volunteering really benefits other people and has opened up a world of opportunities for me.
