Volunteer Profile: Ray Chapman

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.
