Jackie has since signed up to volunteer with our Jesmond shop to help St Oswald’s out during these challenging times. Jackie spoke about her experiences over recent months:
“I’ve only been actively volunteering since lockdown started in March. I originally signed up in January to join the bank of receptionists but with lockdown happening I didn’t receive my training and was not able to undertake the receptionist role. When I saw that check in and chat volunteers were required I volunteered to undertake that service so I had something meaningful to do during lockdown and support the hospice too.
I planned to continue the Check in and Chat service until I was able to go into the hospice for my receptionist training. However, the interesting thing is that the volunteers I was asked to contact were volunteers in the Jesmond shop and they are all so lovely and friendly I thought it would be great to volunteer in the shop as it would allow me to get involved with something outside of my home and mix with other people at a safe distance.
