A Volunteer Case Study

Marina has been a shop volunteer for over 18 months.

She says "I always wanted to work in a charity shop because it's sociable and it's a cause I absolutely believe in - I'm an animal lover."

"I always find time to help and it's made a real difference to my life. I do three days a week and I can't wait to get here. The best bits are the company and the laugh you have knowing you are doing it for the animals."
