I volunteer one day a week at a low income tax clinic, preparing tax returns for people with psychiatric problems or addictions. It's very rewarding, because people really appreciate the help and it get's them the financial support they are entitled to. I may take on another day, doing the same thing, at a drop in centre for homeless women.

I also volunteer on a suicide hotline, 4 hours a week. It's challenging work, but I really like it, and there's no better feeling than talking someone through a suicide crisis.
