Stories from a Volunteer

Bob

 

Bob’s long-term dedication to volunteering at Encircle Redcliffe Neighbourhood Centre has made a positive difference to so many people’s lives.

Bob’s passion for volunteering runs deep. After losing his beloved wife a few years ago, he decided to continue the tradition they both cherished by dedicating his time to helping others. 

Volunteering has brought him a sense of connection and purpose, filling the space left after retirement and the loss of his wife.
