Six ways to help your community
Supporting your local community can bring a whole host of benefits to you and the people around you. Lending a helping hand can help you to make new friends, learn new skills, advance your career and, most importantly, give something back.

At OneFamily we believe in supporting local communities. Since 2015 we’ve helped over 150,000 people through our support of individuals and community projects.
As a customer-owned business we reinvest our profits, and part of this is helping our customers (or members, as we like to call them) do something special for people around them facing financial hardship and contribute to community projects.
How to help your local community
1. Get involved as a volunteer
There are lots of volunteering opportunities out there. Look for things that appeal to you, things you have done before, things you are good at or things you’d like to try. It could even be the start of a new career path for you.
You could try:
Mentoring a young person
Being a school governor
Visiting someone in hospital
Working on conservation projects
Working on other community projects
Working in a charity shop
You can use this tool to find your local volunteer centre or use Do-it’s volunteer search tool to find opportunities online. Reach is the place to find volunteering opportunities where you can leverage your professional skills.
If you would consider becoming a trustee of a charity – typically you’d have some professional finance, fundraising or IT experience – try the Trustee vacancy search tool. You can find out more about what being a trustee is all about here.
As well as benefits for the community, volunteering can be an excellent way to beat loneliness. Vicky experienced loneliness when she was 19 after being involved in a driving accident. Volunteering with the British Red Cross got her out of the house to help other people, which helped her a lot.
