Volunteering
Your participation through giving of your time and skills are at the heart of the incredible work we do to bring people together. Everyone can help someone else.
TCC is all about providing a place for the community to connect and socialise.
TCC connects people from all walks of life from infancy to beyond the golden years of elderhood.
There are many reasons why people volunteer. Some want the opportunity to give back to individuals and groups, and do great things (kindness is good for our health, after all).
It can provide a break from day-to-day routines of life as you find solace in volunteering. You will always have new people to meet, new skills to learn and share. It gives you a chance to engage, build your confidence and feel part of a team.
One good reason people volunteer is to build their skill sets and employability. TCC can offer individuals a great opportunity to enhance their CV and gain vital knowledge they need to take with them into the world of work.
Volunteering increases self confidence
Volunteering can provide a healthy boost to your self-confidence, self-esteem, and life satisfaction. You are doing good for others and the community, which provides a natural sense of accomplishment. Your role as a volunteer can also give you a sense of pride and identity. And the better you feel about yourself, the more likely you are to have a positive view of your life and future goals.
Volunteering helps you stay healthy
Volunteering is good for your health at any age, but it’s especially beneficial in older adults. Studies have found that those who volunteer have a lower mortality rate than those who do not, even when considering factors like the health of the participants. Volunteering has also been shown to lessen symptoms of chronic pain or heart disease.
