#VolunteersWeek - Steve

Volunteers - A spotlight on the people who make a difference.

All sorts of people, for all sorts of reasons, volunteer.

As part of Volunteers Week we want to celebrate and show our appreciation for  some of the amazing people who support and contribute to Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust. We hope they inspire and motivate you to make the most of your neighbourhood. 

Today the spotlight is on Steve, our volunteer for the Hubbub  Cafe and Short Mat Bowls

I volunteer for Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust and for My Community- an organisation that makes Bristol an even better place for adults with a learning disability. I like chatting with my friends.  I enjoy listening to good music and I watch a bit of TV, particularly football.

 I started volunteering about 8 years in the short mat bowls group and I have been volunteering in the cafe for the past year. I did it as I have a big heart for others.

I help run the cafe at the Hub for Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust. I welcome people into the cafe and wash up the plates. I help clear the tables up as we go along.  I managed with others at the short mat bowls group to secure a grant to buy new short mat bowls equipment as it was a bit tatty!.

 I really like getting to know people.

 I have learnt the importance of everybody working together to do a good job.

 It’s the best thing that you can do for yourself and others.

Thank you!

Thank you Steve! From the team at Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust.
