The market for a book about volunteering has never been filled with so much potential. Cutbacks in the public sector, an ageing population and unemployment are expanding the volunteering sector both in terms of what opportunities are available and also who is thinking about doing it. Whatever a person’s background, skills, abilities and experiences, there will be a volunteering opportunity somewhere which is worth exploring.

Author Information

Leonie Martin has volunteered for several organisations over the past twenty years including Victim Support, the Youth Offending Service, the NHS and the Multiple Sclerosis Society and all her voluntary roles have been linked in some way to experiences in her own life. She hopes this book will encourage many others to explore the benefits of volunteering.

Leonie is a published author and speaker. Her first book, Multiple Sclerosis – The Essential Guide (Need2Know, 2010) continues to receive positive critique. She has also had articles, short stories and poetry published in local and national media. She lives in Derbyshire with her husband and their two teenagers and combines her love of writing with the daily challenges of her own MS symptoms.
