Give Back and Earn Rewards: 5 Ways to Volunteer and Get Rewarded
As we celebrate National Volunteers Week, it’s the perfect opportunity to give back to our local communities while also earning some fantastic rewards. From reducing food waste to clearing out our wardrobes, there are plenty of ways to make a positive impact and get something in return.
Share and Care with Olio
Did you know that you can help reduce food waste and get to keep 10% of the food you collect as a reward? Download the Olio app or head to volunteers.olioex.com to become a volunteer and start making a difference.
Reducing food waste, one volunteer at a time.
Clear Out Your Closet with Oxfam
Is your wardrobe bursting at the seams? Clear out your closet and donate a bag to your local Oxfam shop. As long as your donations include at least one M&S item, you’ll receive a £5 voucher to use in M&S shops when spending a minimum of £35 on clothing, homeware, or beauty.
Give your old clothes a new home and get rewarded.
Scan and Save with Boots
You can now recycle your empty medicine blister packs at Boots stores. Register at boots.scan2recycle.com and log your empties. Once you’ve collected 15 items, head into a Boots branch and scan into a Scan2Recycle bin. You’ll receive a reward of 150 Advantage points (worth £1.50) when you next spend £10 at Boots.
Recycle and get rewarded with Boots.
Style Saver: Volunteer at a Charity Shop
Fashion lovers, listen up! Consider volunteering at a local charity shop, like the British Heart Foundation (bhf.org.uk). Not only will you be giving back, but you’ll also get to see the donations before they hit the shop floor – you might even spot a bargain!
Give back and get stylish with charity shop volunteering.
