What our volunteers say

“It has been a delight to be on the Welcome Desk throughout this year. We welcome every volunteer and try to get to know all of you - and what a wonderful

lot you all are. We are also the first contact for many of our service users. It has been so rewarding to ‘onboard’ new services users and to help them with their food needs.”
