This is according to Andy Hadfield, CEO of forgood, an online platform that connects passionate people with accredited causes.
"There are some fantastic causes doing amazing things across the country, all of them need help in one way or another - be it a volunteer's time, goods or services - however, there isn't a central point that connects individuals or corporates with those causes," says Hadfield.
"We're the common denominator that will link the one to the other and in so doing, we're facilitating real value for everyone involved."
Describing themselves as a social market place where skills, goods, services and information can easily be offered and asked for, forgood is a central hub for individuals, groups and causes.
Which takes us back to Mandela Day - how can your 67 minutes add real value? "Simple," says Hadfield. "Log onto forgood, find a cause in your area that has listed a need and sign up to help them; alternatively, create an offer around a specific skill you have or something special you want to do and an interested cause will contact you. It's so much more exciting than watching paint dry and it it creates real measureable impact too."
The Mandela Day countdown has officially begun and causes are being inundated with volunteer requests; be a part of the real value chain by visiting forgood and then choose from the following options:
1. Volunteer your time.
2. Donate goods.
3. Create an offer.
