Today we had a volunteer welcome session meeting at Learn for Life. We’ve now got 85 fantastic people volunteering at the centre helping with teaching, assisting, reception, admin, maintenance and social activities. It is wonderful to know so many people care about new arrivals to Sheffield and want to help them. Lots of people had chance to mingle, eat food, chat and share ideas. It was a productive afternoon and lots of useful things have come out of it. Here are a few photos from the session, this only represents about 50% of our volunteers.
