Alpha's Man of the Year criteria
Social Service Experts say “Volunteering your service is a great way to spend some of that spare time because it is a chance to give back to the community and have a new experience.
However, it has been known to do much more than just that. Volunteering has been linked with being beneficial improvements to physical health as well as mental health while giving the opportunity to connect with others in a productive way that helps the community.”
