Help from Home

[sfhyouthforum]

Hi everyone, as much as I bang on about volunteering, I know that especially in the dark cold winter, most of us after work or school simply want to change into warm comfy clothes and nestle in the sofa. So here are a few ways you can help other from the comforts of your living room:

"
Help From Home is run as a free community service to promote and encourage participation in easy, no commitment, home based, micro-volunteering opportunities where a spare 10 seconds to 30 minutes is all that is needed to help out worthy causes. Heck, you can even volunteer in your own pyjamas with this one! Micro effort with macro impact!

All you have to do is visit the site, click on an opportunity that suits you and follow the instuctions to complete the action.
