    I contribute plenty. I volunteer for several charities including AgeUK and a local food bank and I give blood.

    Want to make it mandatory? piss off.

      Good for you.

      A lot of people aren’t like you and I think the government should be doing more to get more out of the people. Things like happiness and wellbeing and safety is correlated with community and helping others.

      Lots of this country has really gone to shit and could do with going to back to some of the ways in the past life was different.

        Would you be up for being compelled to give up a day a month to do good works? Not volunteering, mind, compelled.

          Absolutely. Think it would be good for me, the community and the country.

            So, if I gave you some volunteering contacts as links, would you commit to starting next month for me? Or would it take a threat of fines/court action?

              For you. No.

              If there was government organised work that everyone was partaking in I would as mentioned.
