Volunteering - In Their Own Words
Nobody can explain the benefits of volunteering better than the volunteers themselves. So below are some quotes from just a few of our regular volunteers about why they choose to help the way they do.
Janine
"I love the fact that by doing a little bit it can benefit lots of people. The lovely people have given me such support when I've needed it."
Andrew
"It's the sum of many things. It's about making a difference to other people's lives, it also enhances one's own by life, it creates self confidence and self esteem. It's about making the world, even in a small way, a better place than the one we found. And l can't think of a better place to do it than here, with wonderful people, in a peaceful relaxing setting, home from home, like family."
Christine
"The wide family at BL and what they and the charity stand for and what it has done for me personally has brought friendship, the meaning of community care and going further than what I thought I was capable of doing. It has helped me find some of me that I was missing for so long."
Kerry
"Meeting new friends. Helped me get out of the house and gave me my confidence back. And there is no better feeling than you know you're helping people."
Paul
The best thing for me working as a volunteer for beyond limits is working with an amazing bunch of people who create a great working atmosphere through dedication and hard work and encouraging one another as they help provide much needed support for those in need.
Mel
"I love volunteering for beyond limits because it makes me happy knowing I'm helping people and maybe making a small difference in their lives. Also all the lovely friends i have made which without beyond limits i would never have met and i am thankful for that."
