Wellbeing and volunteering
Did you know that volunteering can be good for your mental health and, by extension, your general wellbeing?
Here's five ways that volunteering is good for you:
1. It gives you a chance to meet new people, make connections with your community, and maybe even make a new friend!
2. Research shows that helping others or doing something for the community reduces stress because it turns your focus outwards.
3. If you volunteer outdoors, you will become more connected with nature/Papatūānuku.
4. Helping others gives you those warm and fuzzy feelings and will leave you feeling fulfilled.
5. Volunteering can give you a great sense of purpose and remind you that you are an important part of the community.

Pictured is a set of dehorners brought in for sharpening. Like all cutting tools, a sharp edge is essential for them to work efficiently and cleanly.
