Some of our Volunteers

  •   I felt that our more vulnerable families continued to receive regular support from C and that gave us knowledge and enabled us to act quickly if needed.  Having another person to talk through different cases was also a huge benefit to me at what was a tricky time.

  • We received many emails from parents who were appreciative of the support school had offered and we had a high percentage of children attend school prior to the summer holidays.  I think that Caritas’s service provided by C was a big part in helping the children and families feel safe.

  • “When weekly contact was not able to be made with one of our more vulnerable children, we walked to the family house and made a joint home visit.  It became clear that the family were struggling with routines and we had some concerns about the presentation of the child. “

“I started volunteering after my wife died, and was overwhelmed by the love I was shown, and so pleased to be part of the family as we, in turn, help others.”
