A volunteer's story

Abigail

Abigail Pic.JPG
Role: 
Lunch Club Volunteer
Abigail worked at the lunch club for about four months. Her duties were helping with food preparation, setting tables, serving lunch and helping clear up afterwards. She worked well as part of a team, supporting and helping other young volunteers. She was very reliable and cheerful, which the older people enjoyed very much. She was helpful with the older people and showed a lot of patience and understanding. That’s why we presented her with an award at the Hove YMCA Y’Oscars ceremony! - Jackie, Older People’s Project Coordinator
