Build momentum

The roles of volunteers helping out in Truro or London are as varied as the work that goes on there.

'Giving'

Is there one memory that stands out for you about volunteering?

'The first real crisis I volunteered for – the Haiti Disaster. We were working in the Helston office, in quite cramped conditions, and there was a real energy when the donations came in. It made everyone feel they were in touch with helping with the disaster, even from afar.'
