"It's like a big buddy scenario, I can talk to him from a different angle — not as a parent, but as a mentor."

We spoke to Don, 67, who volunteers with us as an independent visitor — a role for adults who are able to offer long-term support to a child or young person in their local area.

"Every kid should have a fair start in life. So, when you see someone has been through challenging times, if I can do something to address that in any small manner to have a positive impact on their development, confidence, and emotions, then that is a great feeling."

Check out the link below to read our full interview with Don and find out how to volunteer with VoiceAbility.
