Today, we're celebrating Sardasht as part of our Volunteers Week special in our 50 stories for 50 years posts. Here's what he had to say about volunteering:
Where and what do you do as a volunteer?
"I volunteer by checking people’s blood pressure and helping promote health awareness in the community."
How much time do you spend doing this?
"I spend a few hours each week volunteering and helping people with blood pressure checks."
Why did you volunteer?
"I wanted to help people look after their health and make a positive difference in the community."
What do you get out of it?
"I enjoy helping others and learning more about healthcare while meeting different people."
What would you say to someone thinking of volunteering?
"I would say volunteering is a great experience because you can help others, learn new skills, and feel proud of making a difference."
Sardasht and all the volunteers we have shared this week are just a few of the fantastic people who make things happen by volunteering across Up for Yorkshire. A HUGE THANK YOU to all of them.
