My name is Sonia Wiliams
and I am a health volunteer at Manor & Castle Development Trust.
"I was working as a support worker visiting residents in homes but I realised it wasn't a job that I wanted to continue with. I needed a compkete career change."
I'm now learning so many new skills that will hopefully lead to a permanent role doing something that I really enjoy.
I was always a shy person and didn't really have much confidence, but since I started as a health volunteer at Manor & Castle Development Trust, I've noticed a huge difference in myself.
I volunteer 3 days per week and support Kelly Anne in her health worker role, setting up classes she runs and helping out at the Park Centre Youth Club. I am learning so many different skills and have the opportunity to go on training courses which will eventually qualify me to work with children.
I'm already building my portfolio and networking with people from other organisations which is opening doors in terms of job opportunities.
