Find out about all the charities and good causes featured on this web site that are supported by the volunteers.
How to become one of The Volunteers
If you work for a charity or good cause then you too could be included on the web site. It might just help your favourite charity to receive that one extra donation or encourage someone else to join your group.
Just contact us at info@locallives.uk and we will contact you. It only takes a 20 minute phone call. We will write up the story.
Full Control
You will have all full editorial control over the content that appears on the web site. Nothing is released on the site without the full consent of the people featured.If at any time in the future you wish to take further changes or remove your story then that will be fine.
Non-Profit
www.locallives.uk is a non-profit web site so you will never see any advertising appear. We don’t see how we can tell the story of volunteering and the volunteers and at the same time try to earn money from the process.
Our aim
Our aim is to help the local charities and good causes we include by telling the stories of those who help. We want to encourage the work of the volunteers. By reading their stories you maybe inspired. It is never too late to volunteer. You’ll receive as you give. Volunteering consists of more than just ‘giving something back’. Read the stories above and you’ll find out what else our volunteers gain from the help they give to the community.
