Thank you Anita
Published on 29 March 2022 11:09 AM
A chapter closes on a wonderful 20 years of voluntary service
We would like to say a massive thank you to our lovely volunteer, Anita, who has been supporting us with our Foot Care service for the past 20 years!
Anita, who ran our Martley clinic twice a month, is now retiring to have some adventures in her mobile home and spend more time with her grandchildren.
We will miss her very much and so will our clients. We wish Anita all the best and a very happy retirement, she deserves it.
Looking to follow in Anita's foot steps?
We offer many voluntary roles within Age UK Worcester & Malvern Hills. All of which are crucial to supporting us and allowing us to continue to provide support services to older people across the Worcester & Malvern Hills areas.
Purpose of volunteering with us
We rely on volunteers to help provide our vital services and activities to older people in the local communities across Herefordshire & South Worcestershire.
Without the dedication of volunteers, many of our operations would simply not be able to function as they currently do.
Giving back your free time
We do not expect you to dedicate all of your spare time to us. Any spare time you may have to give back, would be gratefully welcomed - this could be as little as 1or 2 hours a week!
Naturally, some of our roles require you to be at a particular location and at a particular time regularly. You can find out more in our specific role leaflets or by contacting us for more information.
