Thank you to our Employment & Training manager, Tracey, for sharing her journey from volunteer to manager, with the DRC!

"At 28, I was told I might never work again because of my disability. After always being in work, this had a huge impact on my confidence and mental health.

When my work coach suggested DRC, I thought, “What have I got to lose?” That decision changed my life.

I started volunteering in Job Club one day a week, supporting people into training, volunteering and employment. Seeing the difference I could make rebuilt my confidence and reminded me of the skills I still had.

Over time, volunteering led to a paid role, then senior advisor, and today I’m proud to be DRC’s Employment & Training Manager — 17 years later.

Someone believed in me when I needed it most, and it gave me a new lease of life."

Volunteering can open so many avenues for you as well 💚

Thank you to Maxine for choosing to volunteer with the DRC, and sharing your experience 💙

Maxine shared: "What started as a search for support became a life-changing journey - After finding DRC during a difficult period, volunteering has opened the door to finding confidence, purpose, connection and a renewed belief in what was possible. From helping on reception to becoming a valued member of staff, my journey is a powerful reminder to all of the impact volunteering — and supportive people — can have."

Thank you - Katie for everything you do at the DRC!

Katie shared her experience for Volunteers Week: "After more than 20 years away from work, fear and having a disability, I felt that returning to employment was out of reach. Volunteering at DRC changed everything. I started on reception in 2023 and built confidence, skills as well as a sense of belonging. This role lead to a paid role just a few months later. Today, I love coming to work, take pride in supporting clients, and I'm proud to be part of the DRC team." ⭐
