The range of activities offered to members is quite extensive and I have found myself happily involved in all areas from washing up, making tea, singing and dancing, craftwork, board games and quizes. All undertaken in a happy and safe environment.
It is heart warming to see the pleasure it gives the members as they enjoy these activities in company with others under the care and guidance of the truly professional and caring team, with whom they clearly have a good and trusting relationship.
As a volunteer I always feel valued and appreciated.'
