Wendy Young is one of our fantastic volunteers who has worked with the Staying Active team for three years. Wendy was looking for something to radically change her life and found that volunteering to help older people get the most out of life fitted the bill!

Wendy volunteers because she sees the difference she can make to people.  " I see people progress from being intraverted and solitary to becoming gregarious and taking pride in themselves. I always feel very proud to help and it makes my day to see people doing things for themselves that they never thought would have been possible a few months ago"

Wendy volunteers as a befriender, in two Staying Active Centres, reading at a school and serving meals for Sunday Lunch.
