“Volunteering for TalkingSpace Plus is extremely rewarding. As I am the first person Service Users see when they attend a course, I greet them with a welcoming and reassuring smile, hopefully putting them at ease. Whilst I am a Volunteer I am always treated as part of the Team and being able to sit in on the course enables me to benefit from the techniques given by the facilitators.”
