The Last Word
Help From Work is a subsidiary project of the Help From Home initiative. It’s soul aim is to encourage and inspire office workers to discover that they can volunteer their time for the benefit of others without leaving their workplace. This will hopefully instil a sense of altruism and may lead to participation in more traditional volunteering activities.
