"Volunteering with Flourishing Families has helped me as much as the families we work with. When I first started I was feeling isolated and quite lonely. Since volunteering I have made new friends and learned new skills. I’ve helped other families learn new and healthier options and some of these were new to me as well. It makes me happy when you see your efforts reflected in the attitudes of the people you work with and when you see people learn new skills which will benefit themselves and their families. Due to this my confidence has grown a huge amount and I’ve really developed my planning, organisation and communication skills."
