celebrating our volunteers
Meet Darren - a volunteer information worker at our Peterborough hub, Darren is the friendly face behind the reception desk, welcoming young people and assisting with their enquiries. From making cups of tea to providing vital support to our team, Darren goes above and beyond.
"On retirement I started to look for opportunities to spend my time in a useful and positive way. Centre 33 appealed to me as a local organisation working to support mental health and wellbeing," he said.
"The feeling that in some very small way I help to support the availability of the service is incredibly rewarding. I also appreciate having been welcomed into a very friendly and positive team."
