Volunteering is an activity that involves spending time, unpaid, doing something that aims to benefit the environment or someone (individual or group) other than, or in addition to, close relatives.

A recent study done by the University of Wales, Lampeter has shown a clear link between volunteering and good health both for the volunteers and health service users.

Volunteering can increase a volunteers longevity, improve their mental health, keep them at a better fitness level, and allow them to cope better with illness when it occurs.  Volunteering can also have a positive impact on many factors that affect those receiving the help.  It has been shown to increase their self-esteem, embracement of healthy behaviors and a higher compliance with regards to their medical treatment.
