On Saturday, I volunteered with Serve the City. Serve the City is a fantastic organisation which exists in several cities worldwide. It is a very basic concept - it links up people who want to volunteer with local charities who need the help. There's no need to make any kind of commitment, although they will also help you to sort out more regular volunteering if you want to. They organise several focus days throughout the year, which you can sign up or even just show up to, and volunteer your Saturday afternoon. Be prepared to get your hands dirty!
