I have been part of the YAT for a few months now and i thoroughly enjoy being part of the team. I have made great new friends, learnt many new and valuable skills and also have been having a lot of fun! Many people think that they shouldn't volunteer because they don't get paid! But i say... why do you need to get or be paid to have fun!
So far we have attended training sessions, helped out charities and are currently planning our own events! We helped out last year at Tree 'O' Clock where we had to plant trees in Hainult Forest to beat the Guinness World Record. We also participated in Festive Favours which was in Romford Market Hall. Here we passed out flyers and gave out time tokens for free to individuals who were interested. We had a great time doing this, meeting lots of new people and spreading the work of volunteering.
I'm sure there's much more to update, in fact i know there is, but i will have to leave that to next time :D
