This Volunteers Week, weโre celebrating some of the incredible people across our charity who generously give their time to support others. โค๏ธ
Matt has been part of our community for 15 years and volunteers with our Adult Services team two to three times each week. His dedication, kindness, and reliability have made him an invaluable member of the team.
Carla from Adult Services shares: โMatt has made a world of difference to our service. His presence brings so much positivity, he is a genius in finding solutions to electronic systems, he supports by answering the phones when we are busy, and heโs become such an important part of the team.โ
Jay, one of our Future Learners, began volunteering at Hengistbury Head Hikers Cafรฉ with support and has since grown in confidence to volunteer independently two days a week.
Owen, from Portfield Sixth Form, regularly volunteers in a church. Reflecting on his experience, he says: โThe type of people you meet along the way is a real blessing, theyโre very kind and help you. I find peace in volunteering, and I take a lot of pride in it.โ
These stories show the true impact of volunteering, not just time given, but confidence built, communities strengthened, and lives changed.
To Owen, Matt, Jay, and every volunteer who supports us, thank you for all that you do! ๐
