STAR LETTER
Pay it forward
Why We Volunteer (Feb) was an inspiring article. I was filled with admiration for Lynne, who offers free crafts classes for the elderly, Alison, who gives free treatments to cancer patients and, last but not least, Hannah who volunteers with the Brownies. These three wonderful women have an extraordinary impact. They think less about what they can get from the experience of volunteering and more about what they can contribute. I’m also reminded that, without volunteers, it wouldn’t be possible to keep so many valued services going. I was very moved by their stories, which motivated me to contribute more to society. I am looking for ways in which to do this in future.
