DEAR EDITOR -- This is Volunteer's Week, which is a celebration of volunteering. The week is about recognising volunteer's contribution to society, rewarding those who already give time and recruiting new volunteers.
The Stroke Association's Dysphasia Support Service in Bromsgrove will soon celebrate its eighth anniversary. Since it began in 1995 hundreds of people who have speech and language difficulties have been helped by wonderful, caring volunteers.
Many of the volunteers have gained valuable work experience and gone to work in caring professions, many have joined us following their retirement from full-time employment, whilst many have worked for the Stroke Association whilst their children were at school.
Whatever the reasons volunteers for the Stroke Association have the following in common -- they are friendly and caring individuals with a willingness to help others and a couple of hours to spare.
If any readers 'fit the bill' and would like further information about this rewarding voluntary work, for which no previous experience, is necessary, then phone me on 01527 488133.
