Who says climate change isn’t a ‘thing’? So talking about the summer seems a little strange and a long way off. But there are many summer events going on locally and it’s good to get out there and support our local organisations and communities. As we’re highlighting a few opportunities this month—I wanted to sing the praises of volun- teering. If you’ve never done it before, or think you haven't got time, honestly, it’s such a bril- liant thing to do: you can gain such a lot, as well as give. You get to meet new people, learn new skills, as well as the ‘feel-good’ factor—it’s really good for our well-being generally. For young people, it can make all the difference on your CV or in your personal statement: maybe that one element that sets you above the next person for a college place or a job.
