We are incredibly proud of our face-to-face befriending volunteer Julie Stevenson.
Julie was nominated for a local Time2Volunteer Award and, although she didn't win on the day, her nomination caught the attention of the Vice Lord Lieutenant of Hull and East Riding. As a result, Julie was personally invited to attend the Princess of Wales' "Together At Christmas" Carol Service at Westminster Abbey, which celebrates everyday heroes and volunteers.
Julie attended the service on Friday 5th December, and it will be broadcast on ITV and ITVX tomorrow, Christmas Eve.
Alongside working full time, Julie gives her time generously to support multiple members through befriending, offering companionship, kindness and connection. Her commitment and passion make a real difference.
Thank you, Julie, this recognition is so well deserved ♥️
