Outside of NHS back in high school? After my father passed, I volunteered at the local branch of the same hospital chain for a while. It was a stressful time and just having someone tell you where to find the documents room was helpful. The volunteer hospice was also great in his final hours.

I've been on the receiving end of charities, mostly food banks. Love me food.

Old cel here. take w/ piece of salt. Back in 1990s, would call a place up, can i volunteer? YES, can you come today?

Ask to volunteer someplace now, sends me what looks like a 10+ page job application, we cant get you in for a year + , ummmmm ok….

When I had no money and was starving I visited these free food places for homeless people. I saw the most despicable people there, drug addicts, alcoholics, gipsies etc.
The food itself was greasy crap which gave me a stomach ache.
I realised you're better just scraping some coins together and buying the cheapest bread you can find. You also have to wait a long time and it's only available certain days in the month.

Yes, I volunteer at a local food bank. This was right after covid had it's restrictions lifted mind you so we were always busy. Part of me was sad with the amount of people who were coming in. But the story that sticks with me is pretty regularly we had a young boy, couldn't be more than 7 to come in and pickup food on his bike, I'd always throw him a couple of dollars when he came in. Sad to see peeps so young coming to the food bank, but that's what we are here for.
