Can I make a difference in 2019? Yes I can!
Why not make a new year’s resolution to make a real difference in 2019?
Perhaps you are tired of the all the negativity you read and hear about in the press? I know I am! It seems to be relentless doesn’t it? Squabbling politicians, rudeness and intolerance of different points of view; increased violence on our streets, gossip about public figures, overloaded national health service and drones causing havoc to people’s holidays!
One thing I have realised since joining CAFOD is the incredible work that our volunteers do to support us out of the goodness of their hearts. It is truly humbling for me to have met so many really kind, helpful, committed people who want to make a real difference to this world. They come from all walks of life and offer what help they can. These people care so much for the suffering and hardships experienced by so many people and really strive to live more simply and do anything they can to preserve our beautiful world. Indeed, they are unsung heroes.
If you find yourself with some time to spare in 2019; then why not consider volunteering for CAFOD? We have so many roles such as: parish volunteers, media volunteers, office volunteers, campaign volunteers, school volunteers, MP correspondents, and fundraisers to name but a few. With your help, we can make an even BIGGER difference.
Will you help us to transform the lives of our brothers and sisters living in poverty overseas by choosing a different sort of challenge in 2019? New Year’s resolutions with a difference
