Ray Chapman, Befriender
Befriender
How long have you been a volunteer?
3 years
Why did you want to volunteer for Carer Support Wiltshire?
I had a lot of help and support when my wife was unwell and I wanted to give something back.
It makes me feel great when I can make a difference and help others.
What do you get from volunteering?
I get immense pleasure from being a volunteer befriender. I look forward to every Wednesday when I call the carer and he always picks up the phone in no more than 2 rings!
I also enjoy the training days and when volunteers get together. I don’t live near a centre so these get togethers are extra special.
