Volunteer profile – Jackie Redwood

Hi, I am Jacky Redwood and have been volunteering at the Bay Trust since May this Year. I have recently taken a career break from the telecom industry after many years, and while I am enjoying my free time to do all the leisure activities I never had time to do, I also wanted to volunteer within my local community to give something back. The Bay Trust with it’s Environmental, Health and Wellbeing, values appealed to me. So it’s been a win-win for all concerned. I now volunteer for a few hours a week and get to work in the beautiful and calming Pines Gardens. In return, the charity can utilise my transferable skills, which also provides me with a tremendous amount of satisfaction. I feel valued and work with a lovely bunch of people, and I would strongly recommend volunteering with the charity in whatever spare time you have to offer.
