Meet Joe, a volunteer with Runnymede Volunteer Fire Brigade, Relay For Life and Rebecca White MP sharing their story as part of our ‘Share Your Story’ series.
Inspired to Give Back
“The number one thing that inspires me to volunteer is simply giving back to the community. Volunteering is all about giving back your time to important causes to help them achieve the outcomes that they wish to achieve. It is so rewarding to volunteer and there are so many opportunities to learn, grow and develop along the way and you can interact with some absolutely awesome people and work to improve the lives of so many community members. I just love volunteering as it feels so good to give back!”
Encouragement to Future Volunteers
“I would say to simply go for it! You don’t have to volunteer your whole life to a cause, but if you can just do a few hours, it will be a much appreciated assistance. You will be truly recognised for the work you do in changing things for the better! Volunteering in the emergency services is something truly special!”
