Would love to give my time over at xmas , re serving xmas dinner to the homeless etc, but cant as yet find one local to me. 
as for reasons, well i dont do xmas as i find it depressing as i dont have a big family around as we have lost alot to illness.
Reckon if im helping some poor soul out there, i will be counting my blessings instead of feeling sorry for myself  |

If you go along to your local church or contact a local homeless charity, they will often be prepared to offer you transport. |

"Have tried all over hun

"The trick is to locate a charity that IS close to you 
which one do you help with. We dont have any national charities here being a small town and for actual christmas day they dont do anything"
I help with several, I do drive tho, and I am happy to offer a lift to anyone near me |

You dont need to locate a national charity to just offer to help, charity begins at home as the saying goes x  |

"A good place to look is at your local library - all sorts there from just keeping old people company to clearing canals or woodland - I've looked a few times "

I do volunteer work, and work full time, the thing I find is that it's sometimes the busier people who volunteer.
Why do I do it, want to put something back into society - improve outcomes - and to be honest I get as much out of it as I put into it. Over the years it has also given me the chance to do things I wouldn't in my day job.
Anyone thinking of doing it - go for it, there will be something that you will find interesting and it is appreciated. |
