Our volunteers talking about their experience of volunteering with CCS

Vicky, Community Ambassador Volunteer

“Once I became a volunteer it was good to meet other volunteers and also to meet with the health professionals that work for the service I’m involved with. They supported me to learn how to offer volunteer support. They were so friendly, I really feel like one of the team when I’m with them.”

Leah Diabetes Education Volunteer

"My day of volunteering is the most exciting time of every week. Doing good for others and the community provides me with a natural sense of accomplishment. The social contact aspect of helping and working with others gives me a profound effect on my overall psychological well-being. Knowing that every call I make to book a person on the DESMOND education program will make a difference to them is amazing."

Leah, Diabetes Education Volunteer, Luton


“I love being a volunteer as I get to support families with real life enquiries, I also get to learn different parenting skills from others. This role also gives me training support where needed and opportunities to be on a panel as a service user for interviewing, allowing our voice to be heard."

Volunteering brings in meaningful contribution to the future generations' health and wellbeing."

Gosia, Bedfordshire Breastfeeding Buddy Volunteer


"Volunteering Makes My Heart Sing! I love volunteering at POW - all the staff are so friendly and make me feel part of the team. After giving up work to be there for my parents, I have missed being part of a team and seeing my colleagues. Volunteering has given me back a broader outlook and I look forward to going in to see the team and helping the patients and staff. I would definitely recommend becoming a volunteer as it is so rewarding and definitely puts a spring in my step."

Paula Speech And Language Therapy Volunteer

"After many years working in Early Years, I wanted to explore the idea of furthering my knowledge to help young children with educational needs. I volunteer with the therapists at universal sessions in the community, guiding families of young children, to gain support with their speech language and communication needs. The role fits round my spare time and it feels great to support families and the team who provide such a needed service."
