I have recently begun volunteering with One Community to help people in the local community who may need some extra support. The impacts of the pandemic have made running errands, food shopping etc a daunting challenge for many, and it’s nice to know that by giving up a small amount of time, you’ve made life easier for someone. The effects of the lockdowns have also been tough, and it saddens me to think of someone feeling lonely or isolated. Making a Companion Call is so simple but can make a huge difference to the happiness and wellbeing of that person, and I love to chat so nice to put it to good use. I’ve lived locally with my husband for the last six years and recently having been enjoying exploring some of the beautiful countryside on many walks! In my spare time I like to bake and socialise with my friends and family.
