Volunteering at Christmas

in The subforum of Christmas Past
Christmas is generally the busiest time of the year, and in all the hustle and bustle, the less fortunate can often get forgotten. The festive period can be a lonely and difficult time for some people.

What might you do this festive season to help out? Are there any opportunities you are aware of in your local area?

Share your ideas, plans or past experiences here – would be cool to hear them!

    I'm gonna be volunteering my time on TS boards over Christmas to those who need it, Idk if that counts as really volunteering at Christmas but wanted to share.

    I wish I was volunteering, still need to find Placement for Psychology, looking into Prisons or Psychiatric wards that may have me! Obviously not as a patient, etc. Like I normally volunteer, but working at the moment too, therefore having zilch time for anything else, but might volunteer in a charity shop or something, I think I would like to do that again! - I still have time, would do it at home, rather than here. But totes shall look into it.
