VOLUNTEERING
Making time to volunteer is a big ask. We are busy with family and work with so little time to spare.
If you can find time - and it doesn't have to be regular (just half an hour transporting a table for a charity event for instance) - it will be greatly appreciated.
Volunteers in Cuddington thoroughly enjoy what they do - and here's why:
PETER HARDING overcame a brain injury at 15 to become National FA Volunteer of the Year in 2016. He received his award from Ryan Giggs at Wembley: "Being part of Wandgas FC has not only shaped the person I am, but has allowed me to give back to a team that has done so much for me."
AN ANONYMOUS VOLUNTEER says that he has volunteered in the community for 70 years. He is modest by nature so preferred not to be identified; we are very lucky to have him as a neighbour!
OUR ROAD REPS are volunteers - what would we do without them! Everybody who gives time to the CRA - writing articles, maintaining our social media links, publishing the magazine, tending the parks, helping our youngsters get the best out of their free time, arranging social events - make this place what it is.
As I add to this list (I'm a volunteer webmaster and I don't see it as work even though I do this sort of thing every day!) I'm looking forward to the next event and meeting up with the people who make it all possible.
PLEASE LET US HAVE YOUR VOLUNTEER STORIES! You can remain anonymous - we particularly enjoy the funny ones!
