They play a huge part in the running of our communities both on a local and national level. Volunteers come from all walks of life are of all ages and help society in many different ways. The reasons why people volunteer also vary massively from one person to the next. But volunteering makes for a better community all round – both because of what those volunteers achieve and the types of skills they learn while doing their unpaid jobs. It is impossible to put a price on volunteers and the role of volunteers but it is safe to say that they save the economy millions and millions of pounds a year. The jobs that are done by volunteers range from highly specialised to mundane and boring – but all are jobs that need doing. Many of them would have to be done without volunteers and therefore someone would have to be paid to achieve the same aim. Because volunteers are carrying out their tasks because they want to be there rather than because they need the money it is safe to assume that jobs are going to get done. These people would not be wasting their time if they did not want to be there and make a difference to whichever organisation they are volunteering for. Therefore the level of efficiency is bound to be high and results will be good. Volunteers can often pick up many skills as they go along and become proficient in something which they originally had no idea how to do. This then means that they can take their new found skills back to the workplace o to other voluntary organisations and help to make a difference elsewhere. In addition if volunteers do not have many skills or qualifications to start with they can better themselves by volunteering thus improving their own quality of life. The role of volunteers is vital and it would not be exaggerating to say that society would fall apart without them. Just think of all the places volunteers work – our hospitals fire stations police stations. They run shops go shopping change beds. They clear landscapes and help to save endangered animals. The scope of volunteering is vast and can rightly be considered to be the third sector such are the benefits it brings. Just try to think for a minute in 3D If a human is trapped in a collapsed building then would the government authorities prosecute those with no government authority who were seen to be committing acts of rescue ? A human body is the building dwelling place of the soul within us all and if that building is in such a state as to cause death then surely every one of us with experience in the field has a moral humanitarian duty to attempt to rescue any souls building from devastation such as Earthquake and Cancer but only by any safe means gained from personal experience. If we had "The Rescue Act for Citizens" then perhaps the world would be a better place in the promotion of wellbeing and in the value of life and any given emergency situation.
