Steering Group Volunteer, Ann in conversation with Admin Volunteer, Nuala
I’m Ann and help AM on the Steering group and as a speaker for their Volunteer Training Programme. Sharing my story of advocacy support. I find it very interesting. I’m also am a Steering group volunteer.
Been with them a long time. First worked with an Advocate called Wendy who helped me, when I had to move. I decided to volunteer to do something different. I love it! The people are friendly and they have great volunteer parties and get togethers.
Talking to lots of different people and helping to motivate new Volunteer Advocates.
By telling my advocacy story during AM Volunteer training.
Volunteer factoid:
More than half of the UK population gets involved in informal volunteering – but this is less visible. Informal volunteering can involve things like going shopping, providing childcare or doing housework for free for someone who is not a relative or a friend.
