The right answer is… 77%!

That’s right – nearly 4 in 5 volunteers say that giving their time to a good cause has helped boost their mental health and wellbeing 🧠

That’s a lot of feel-good impact from small actions.

According to a survey by NCVO:

89% felt they were making a difference

75% said they felt more connected to other people

79% experienced a boost in confidence and self-esteem

91% simply said they enjoyed volunteering

So the next time you collect food, remember – you’re not just helping your community… you’re helping yourself too🌱
