The Herald : Features: MAIN FEATURES

The Herald : Features: MAIN FEATURES: "Become richer: work for nothing. That's one of the slogans to attract volunteers. You have time on your hands, you have a social conscience, so why not give something back to society? The simple way would seem to be to volunteer; to trade what you have - time - to make someone else's life better.

Except it's not always that easy. Glasgow-based film-maker Kate E Deeming spends most of the year working on film and theatre projects in exotic locations. She was keen to spend a six-week break in December and January working for a local charity. She had spent the previous Christmas helping in a Gorbals soup kitchen but was keen get involved with a longer project. However, despite starting her search in October, she was unable to organise any volunteering."
