connie Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I help out at my local Brownies.But they all bully me. And ask me really personal perverted questions, for 8 year olds.But I got my own back by telling them I was getting married, and that they could all be my bridesmaids, and they got really excited.BUT I WAS ONLY JOKING! Bwah haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodast Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I used to help at Rainbows, but we played the jelly baby in flour game, and one of them sat on my head. I didn't go back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 i am thinking about doing some maybe at a womans refuge but not sure.My mother did that for a while, but she wasn't a volunteer, she was like one of the big people for Women's Aid I think.I don't volunteer, but I have nice chats with the charity people on Union Street sometimes. One of my friends volunteers at Childline a few hours a week, which seems like the kinda thing I'd be more inclined to do. I can imagine feeling quite satisfied after helping people, but I've been told there are some scary situations of people who call up right after necking a packet of paracetamol.

A.Pel Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 I volunteer at the the third world centre (next to the graveyard).I'm allowed to use the till, help myself to the leftovers and eat the chocolate. Also have quite a bit of good banter with other volunteers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
