Can anyone please recommend where one can volunteer SQL Server skills to gain experience in other technologies? For example, for charities or voluntary organisations, to gain experience in using PostgreSQL, MySQL, Azure or other database technologies around SQL Server? How can one find such voluntary organisations or charities that are looking for people to donate their database skills?
I am a UK-based SQL Server DBA and Developer with over 15 years experience, and I am trying to find a way of broadening my skillset whilst donating my skills and time to good causes.

Many nonprofits and open-source projects actively seek database professionals. Websites like Catchafire, VolunteerMatch often list tech-related volunteer opportunities. You can also check charity-focused platforms like DataKind for projects involving data analytics and engineering.
Another great option is open-source contributions like GitHub and Open Source Communities, Apache, and Mozilla.
Hope this helps!
