As we come to the end of Volunteer Week, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful Community Connections volunteer, Helen.

Helen greets our service users with a warm smile, helps with serving and cleaning up, and is always willing to lend a listening ear. For those who are feeling particularly isolated or in need of a little extra support, Helen has a wonderful way of offering one-to-one encouragement and gently helping people connect with others.

Her kindness, patience, and care make a real difference to our community programme, and we are so grateful for the time and compassion she gives.

Thank you, Helen, for all that you do, our community is brighter because of you. 💙
