Trustee Stories
What our Trustees say:
Kate - art galleries in Brussels, Monet's Garden at Giverny...and Home-Start Telford & Wrekin
"When I took early retirement from teaching I was
convinced I would find great fulfilment in re-decorating the house,
finally getting the garden sorted out and still have time left over for all
those treats I had been promising myself.
All these
came to pass and were very much enjoyed, but I still felt I needed to do
something else - to make a difference somehow."
Richard - how the 'day job' helps Home-Start in York
"I first heard about the excellent work done by Home Start through friends who have been involved in home-visiting. As I have a full time job it was not easy for me to help in this way but I noticed a request in our local newspaper for a Chair of York Home Start."Full Story
Barry - using 30 years experience to help families in North East Worcestershire
"As retirement approached I began looking for opportunities to help a voluntary organisation. In my youth I had done Voluntary Service Overseas and been a voluntary youth worker, but now I was searching for something where I could use my 30+ years' experience of business and life."Full Story
Emily - using her PR skills to help families in Southwark
"I've been working in charity PR since I was 16 when, after leaving school early due to ill health. When I heard about Home-Start from one of my neighbours and then met the Scheme Manager Sherry I just knew that this was somewhere I wanted to work!"Full Story
