Volunteer Feedback
Quote from one of our valued volunteers
I’ve lived in Wigan for nearly 70 yrs and as I have got older I have appreciated my local community and also how difficult it can be for local government to try and meet the needs of everyone.
I volunteer on an ad hoc basis because I do not want to let people down but also I want the flexibility.
Wigan has a wide variety of volunteer opportunities
I have been involved with delivering food parcels to families during last summer and I have just completed 2 weeks at Fred Longworth High School helping staff with Lateral Flow testing for Covid involving 1200 pupils a week
So impressed with staff and pupil systems and insight and appreciate the challenges Covid brought to all of us
Why did I do it ?
To do “my bit” to get children back in school
To meet and chat with kids who are our future
To feel I am contributing and putting into community and having a better insight into the diverse needs of Wigan
Oh and selfish reasons I love meeting and chatting and making new acquaintances
