We couldn’t run our Centre without our amazing volunteers. Vera has been volunteering with us for five years. She was a nurse previously and also spent some time supporting children with cancer and their families. Through that work, she met Dr Pickering, after whom our Centre is named.
“I really enjoy welcoming visitors to the Centre, settling them in and, of course, making sure they have tea and coffee,” says Vera. “However, the most important thing is lending a listening ear.”
