You like the idea of volunteering. You’re a good person, a kind person, but…
You’re busy.
You might have young to feed.
You’ve got work that just won’t do itself.

Enter micro volunteering.
Bite-sized flexible giving when time and life allows (or GoT finishes).
Pick a request from one of the great charities, schools or organisations on T4G. Or even a friend or neighbour.
Choose something that matches your skills and availability.
Something big or small.
In pixels or in person.

On the rocks please, bar person.
Some ideas:
Design a poster for a charity.
Help take monkeys on an outing school kids on a trip.
Join a litter pick.
Bake someone a cake.
Transcribe audio recordings for deaf people.
Proof read.
Help at an event.
There's so many micro volunteering things you could do!
