Giving back

For me, volunteering is incredibly rewarding. I love coming together with my community and seeing people working with one another to give back to wider society. What I find beautiful about volunteering is that giving just one hour of your time can create a ripple effect and make somebody’s day. Cooking just one meal, writing notes of kindness, wrapping a care package - will truly make a positive difference, no matter the magnitude. At the moment, my friend and I lead bingo sessions for care homes at Norwood and it brings me so much joy to be a part of providing excitement and entertainment for the residents every other week. It is so important as well as therapeutic to see past our own complaints and problems and channel our attention into helping the greater good.
