Did you know it’s Volunteers’ Week? The first week of June every year gives us a chance to celebrate and say thank you to our volunteers for their fantastic work here at The Cellar Trust. Today we’d like you to get to know Lucy a little better, and find out more about why she volunteers…

“I made the decision to volunteer at The Cellar Trust as I wanted to be involved in supporting people who are finding life tough. I have a huge amount of empathy for anyone accessing the invaluable support The Cellar Trust offers, and if I can be involved in providing anything that helps another individual through challenging times then that is just amazing. I began volunteering in January 2019 and have been volunteering weekly since then.

I love volunteering, I am meeting some wonderful people who are accessing this fantastic place and benefiting from the support, safety and acceptance here. If you’re interested in volunteering I would say just do it, it is very rewarding. We should never underestimate the power of genuine empathy, so if you feel you want to help others go on and get involved.”
