It’s Volunteers Week 2022, so we wanted to take the time to thank and recognise all of our volunteers here at YMCA DownsLink Group! We currently have 140 volunteers working with us across the organisation. Our volunteers provide support to a number of our projects and make a huge difference to the lives of the young people we support, from Chaplaincy, to our Youth Advice Centre, to all of our volunteers now and over the years THANK YOU! Hear what our volunteers had to say below:
“I am learning so much by volunteering at YAC! I am grateful for the training opportunities and well-supported environment which allows me to confidently give advice to young people.” Volunteer, Youth Advice Centre
“Volunteering with Positive Placements has helped me to learn some new skills and to build my confidence.” Mentor, Positive Placements
“It’s absolutely great having a mentor. You know you’ve got someone next to you, supporting you and it’s not just you by yourself. It’s nice to have someone who wants to help me because I don’t have much support.” Mentee, Positive Placements
