Hello @Ichika

Welcome to the community, thanks for introducing yourself. Great to hear you want to start volunteering, do you have any idea what organisation you would like to volunteer for?

If you are thinking about working in a charity shop of course they are all closed at present, but nothing to stop you contacting charities.

I volunteer as a telephone advisor for Devon Carers.  Silverline and Age UK are always looking for telephone befrienders.  You get good training and support.  Good for you!

I worked in my local British Red Cross charity shop for 3 and a half years and loved it. My Dad said it has made me a more confident person. I also made loads of great friends working in the shop.

Hi Ichika! I suggest getting in touch with Senploy. They specialise in Special Education Needs & Disabilities content and promoting the workforce there. They've recently started taking volunteers, giving everyone a chance to have their voices heard through blogging.  https://www.senploy.co.uk/
