Volunteering your time is such a fantastic way to get involved with our charity partner, as Leanne Lyons, Area Leadership Support explains:

"It was a really great day, everyone got involved and it was nice to do some hands-on work for the charity, where you can see who could benefit from the work we carried out.  It was good to work with our colleagues outdoors, doing something really worthwhile.  Everyone enjoyed it from start to finish"

Examples of volunteering opportunities include:

• Practical help – support your local service by helping to revamp their garden space or transforming a therapy room.
• Fun days – support activities organised for young people to escape from the daily challenges they face.
• Campaign champions – challenge yourself to recruit as many campaign supporters as possible so we can maximise the impact of our campaigns and make the vital, lasting changes.
• Event squad – Action for Children always requires support at its national fundraising events. You can help to ensure they run smoothly and raise as much funding as possible.

A huge thank you to everyone who has given their time to support Action for Children! It is fantastic to see how generous our colleagues are with their time. To find out how to get involved with volunteering for Action for Children, please email RoyalMail@actionforchildren.org.uk
