Volunteering is a fantastic way to boost your confidence and get you ready for work. Alternatively volunteering can be used as a way of giving something back to the community.

I chose to work with the furniture team one morning a month. I am passionate about reusing and upcycling and having worked with the team in a previous role, I knew how committed they are to helping improve the lives of our customers. On my first session I was shown around the storeroom and then taken to the new showroom in Hazel Grove. I was issued with a pair of steelies, a bucket and cleaning materials. Pete and I cleaned the furniture down before moving it into the new display area. It is hard work but really enjoyable. It’s an exciting time to join as a volunteer and I learned a lot about the future plans for the service.
