Volunteering is one of the most integral parts of society. It encourages individuals to stand up, and affect change no matter how big or small it may seem.
We at Expatgiving, admire the commitment and passion our volunteers contribute to different non-profit organisations they are involved with. One of the volunteers we have recently been in touch with was Freddie of Cycling Without Age.
Originally from London, Freddie moved to Singapore in August 2015. Despite having a busy schedule with his full time job, Freddie decided to start working again with charities and nonprofits. He used to volunteer with Alcohol Awareness Committee and WWF when he was attending university back in the UK.
Many, if not most, expats find it hard to find ways to volunteer and work for a cause. Freddie was able to find a volunteer position that matches his background in information technology through Expatgiving. He now volunteers for Cycling Without Age as their Webmaster and has since helped in designing and updating their Singapore website.

“It’s always nice to feel that you can give back. I’ve been fortunate enough to study to the stage of getting a degree and a Masters.. and this has given me the opportunity to help a lot of people. If I can do that right here, give back to people, I feel like it’s not just something I can do but more of a duty…”
Volunteering for non-profit organisations may sound like a daunting task. But there are a number of positions you can sign up for even if you have a full time job. At the end of the day, it’s not about how much you can give; what is important, is the willingness to reach out and give back - one good deed at a time.
