Moving and volunteering

I did some volunteering in the past and I found that it could take my mind off my problems as I worried more about other people when I was doing volunteering. Right now I have to move accommodation because my tenancy ends very soon and I don't know where I will end up. My uni deadlines are also coming up. Recently I received an email from the volunteering place again but I cannot sign up for slots because I don't know where I will end up and it is area specific. It is the volunteering place that left me with relevantly better memories. I am wondering if it will be too late to choose a slot after I sort everything out but I am really stressed out and lost now. The slots may disappear very quickly.

    Hey :) Moving place is definitely stressful, especially when it affects other areas. Best you can do in this situation is contact the volunteering place to explain this. Sort your accommodation out as soon as you can, and once you have a place secured, let the volunteering place know. If you roughly know where you might end up, they may be able to hold a place for you. It's not an easy situation, but all you can do here otherwise is do your best and keep fingers crossed. No matter what happens, things will turn out okay x

    Thanks @Azziman I just sorted out where I will live. Hopefully I can contact them soon.
