What Our Volunteers Say
” [A] Great opportunity to contribute positively towards the community, learn skills, and build a good CV”
“I enjoyed the interaction with the service users who genuinely seemed to appreciate someone listening to their concerns and caring about their situation. It felt like I was making a genuine difference or at least part of the process which would do so.”
“All departments and management are very organized and precise. It is an honour for me to volunteer on the project”
