We look forward to hearing from you.
I’ve volunteered at LinkAble for about three years with the adult groups. I think volunteering within your community is so important. If you’re fortunate enough to have the luxury of spare time, it's so beneficial to help smaller charities like LinkAble.
I love my time at LinkAble. I enjoy building relationships with the people using the service and seeing the enrichment LinkAble brings to their lives, with a lot of fun, laughter and support along the way. It’s been a lovely addition to my life!
Sue, LinkAble Volunteer
