Volunteering

Volunteering and being socially active increases the well-being of others as well as your own. Many people find it very helpful to be active themselves and to be needed. There are countless opportunities to help yourself and others:

• Take over the babysitting, help your grandchildren with their homework.
• If you don't have grandchildren of your own, try becoming a surrogate grandma or grandpa.
• Provide neighborhood assistance or supervise children's recreational games.
• Become part of a visiting service for people in need of care in hospital, nursing homes or at home.
• Find a suitable self-help group. There you can help yourself and others.
• Help people in need with shopping, visits to the authorities or the doctor.
• Read to others.
