If you don’t believe us, hear what our volunteers have said about how volunteering has enriched their lives:
‘When I first came to Aspire I was very nervous and lacking in confidence. Over the last year or so I’ve been engaged in volunteering with various groups which has helped build my confidence and allowed me to bond well with many of the women who come to Aspire also!’
‘When I walked through Aspire’s door, I felt safe and a hope for the future. I knew that I wanted to be part of the Aspire family. Starting my volunteering journey made me look at myself and reflect on my personal development in order to grow. I needed change and Aspire believed in me which gave me confidence to make those changes. I wanted to support other women that may have the struggles that I’ve had. I am really happy with how much support and training I have had. Volunteering has made me stronger!’
