Here at BYHP we are going to mark the 12 days of the week (yes 12 - figure that out!) with a series of blogs detailing how we work with volunteers, what they do for us and the benefits they bring us and volunteering brings them.

Although we have a team of paid employees working at BYHP many of us started our involvement through volunteering and we are so glad we did!

There is a lot of research about both the level of volunteering in the UK and also the benefits - both physical and psychological - of helping others.

​Here are just a couple of articles:

​Or more simply put by Action for Happiness

Of course, we are always looking for new volunteers to add to the amazing group who already help us and if you would like to volunteer at BYHP we have some specific roles which are detailed on our website.
