“The volunteering I did had opened up a new chapter in my working life - I felt confident that I now had the transferable skills required to find a part time job in the healthcare sector.”
“Now, my typical week includes two days working patient transport shifts with a private ambulance company in a paid role, but volunteering is still a big part of my routine. I’m feeling more fulfilled now, helping people all the time, and the work is stress-free.”
