The claim comes from Barnardo's, which is helping to promote Community Service Volunteers' (CSV) 'Make a Difference Day' this Saturday (29 October).
Messages include: 'Charity shops aren't the stale-smelling time warps of the past'; and 'It might be fun selling vintage clothing, rare vinyl, DVDs and lava lamps.'
Barnardo's will quote research from CSV, in which 20 per cent of 18 to 24-year-olds said volunteering had improved their sex lives. In
a TimeBank poll, most employers said volunteering experience was an advantage.
