🌿 Volunteer Wellbeing Away Day 🌿

Last week, our wonderful volunteers enjoyed a well-deserved wellbeing away day at Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

It was a fantastic opportunity to step away from our daily routines, spend time in nature, explore the inspiring sculptures, and connect with one another in a relaxed setting. The day was filled with laughter, conversation, reflection, and plenty of fresh air.

A huge thank you to all our volunteers for their dedication, commitment, and hard work.

Every step taken and every donation made will help promote inclusion, dignity, and hope for people seeking safety and a fresh start.

Wednesday last week, McKenzie Friends volunteers came together at Global Café to share tea, cake, memories, and stories from the past 20 years.

It was a warm and heartfelt afternoon celebrating friendship, commitment, and the incredible support volunteers have given to others navigating the justice system.
