So for today the question is...
...have you ever done any voluntary work?
I'm off for a 4 hour shift of voluntary work with the Sea Cadets later and am also arranging to do some voluntary work at a local primary school soon....
......no, I'm not the Secret Millionaire!

I LOVE question of the day!!!
I did volunteer for Hospital Radio - years ago! I did the show from Cheltenham Nursing home, covered about 3 hospitals (including Chelt. General) - alongside 'DJ' Edward Rose. It was nice going round taking requests - particularly in the children's ward.

Erm... no  does that make me a bad person?
I've done a few projects with schools and things, though that's always been during work/university hours, so not really a commitment of my own free time.

That makes you the worst person ever in the history of the World!!! You should be put down!
I don't think I've done any either...although I did used to help out at the local Brownies group and stuff...does that count?

I used to be a Sunday school teacher, but you couldn't call that voluntary, cos my auntie made me. I also used to help out at a social group for adults with learning disabilities when I was at school, but I have become lazy and self-centred since then, shame on me!

I want to, but with my mum and my topsy turvy business demanding my time, I can't give much of a commitment.
There's actually an area of work I might want to get back into at some point, so might do some volunteer work along those lines to get back into the swing of it - or does mercenary, self-interested volunteering not count

Can't see how..." Sea Cadets require volunteers....enquire within"...Harmless to me.
