'We will definitely keep in touch when this is all over!'

Meet mother and daughter team Janet, Georgia and Claudia who decided to volunteer together and now have 8 shopping clients between them!

Super organised, they doing just one big shop a week! ‘We’ve got it down to a tee now, but at the beginning we were going out every day.,’ says Georgia

They are all thoroughly enjoying supporting the older people they’ve been matched with by Age UK Barnet.

Georgia , in particular, has grown very fond of one of her clients. ‘He’s so sweet – we’re on the phone for an hour each time,’ she says.  

‘He struggles to read and I found a large print book for him as he was bored of watching TV. He was delighted – it normally takes him weeks to read a book and he read this one in 4 days!’

We will definitely keep in touch when this is all over – and he’s even invited us all to his birthday BBQ at the end of August!’
