💜 Volunteers' Week 💜
This Volunteers' Week, we want to take a moment to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of our past and present volunteers at OWLS.
Your dedication, kindness, compassion, and commitment have made a lasting difference to the lives of so many women and families who have accessed our support over the years. Whether you gave a few hours a week or supported us over many years, your time, energy, and belief in what we do have helped OWLS grow into the organisation it is today.
You have listened without judgement, offered encouragement when it was needed most, and helped create a safe and welcoming space for women rebuilding their lives.
We are incredibly grateful for every volunteer who has been part of the OWLS journey. Your contribution has never gone unnoticed, and the impact you've made will continue to be felt for years to come.
From all of us at OWLS – thank you for being part of our story. 💜

🌟VOLUNTEERS WEEK🌟

Say hello to Liza — a wonderful example of what OWLS is all about. We first met Liza in a park, where she reached out for support. Since then, she has completed several of our courses and blossomed in confidence and self‑belief.
Liza may be new to the team, but her commitment and enthusiasm are already clear. She’s currently learning our systems and will soon begin her journey towards becoming a Support Worker.
We have no doubt she will thrive. Well done, Liza — we’re cheering you on every step of the way.💜

🌟VOLUNTEERS WEEK 🌟

Meet Jess, our wonderful Referrals Administrator and often the very first friendly voice you hear when contacting OWLS. Jess came to us seeking support, and through her passion and determination, she soon became an invaluable volunteer — giving back to the very community that once supported her.
She has poured her heart into her role, helping women feel welcomed, heard, and understood from the very first conversation.
Jess will soon be moving on to full‑time employment, and while we’ll miss her deeply, we couldn’t be prouder. Thank you, Jess, for everything you’ve brought to OWLS. We wish you all the success in your next chapter.

Behind every listening ear, every supportive conversation, and every helping hand is a volunteer who genuinely cares and works tirelessly to make a difference in the lives of others.
Over the next few days, we'll be shining a spotlight on some of these incredible individuals, and celebrating the valuable contribution they make to our OWLS community.
Please join us in thanking our volunteers for everything they do. 💜
