Quote from Annie
I love volunteering. Since I started at the shop, my mental health is so much better. Before this, my whole life was at home so coming here twice a week makes the world of difference.”
“Through talking to customers and other volunteers, people’s confidence can increase so much. For people who aren’t currently working or can’t work for various reasons, it’s a great opportunity to socialise and interact with other people.”
