Shirley is one of our longest serving volunteers, having been supporting our visitors for around 17 years. She comes into the Centre every other week now and says she enjoys her time being a Pickering volunteer, very simply because she ‘likes people’.
Shirley has lost loved ones to cancer, so understands how vital it is to have somewhere to go for support.
“Just being given the space to simply sit down and talk is very important,” she says. “On top of that, having the opportunity to benefit from our various therapies on offer is also good.”
