Mike Bright sent me an e-mail the other day, telling me about a great site that he runs that I’d thought I’d share with you:
I run a website called ‘Help From Home‘ which provides information on easy, no commitment volunteering opportunities that can all be performed from the comfort of a person’s home. Almost all of the 450 plus actions listed on the site will cost nothing or very little to complete and take no more than 30 minutes to accomplish. Some can even be performed in under 10 seconds without getting out of your favourite chair or pyjamas!
I run it on a purely altruistic basis and what I’m attempting to do is to encourage people to see that volunteering for worthy causes can actually be conducted from within their own house, rather than the more traditional approach of joining a group of people at a certain place and a certain time to participate in actions that benefit others.
Most of us spend a lot of time in our own home. and if people were able to donate between 10 to 30 minutes of this home time to such endeavours on a one-off, daily, weekly or monthly basis, just think how much of an impact collectively it could potentially make into the goals and aims of initiatives that are attempting to create ta better world for us to live in.
In closing then, I believe the opportunities listed on the website really can spread kindness and if you do visit the website, I’m hoping you’ll be able to see what good there is that can be done ….. dressed just in your pyjamas!
Regards
Mike Bright
It looks like a great idea, and it’s something worth checking out!
