Volunteering
Volunteer? Oh I’m not sure I could do that!
I saw an article about CamTAD in our local church magazine shortly after moving into the area from Yorkshire. The article was asking for volunteers to help within the charity CamTAD, with full training given, for a few hours a month. As I was new to the area and felt a bit like “Billy no Mates”, I rang the number and was invited to attend for an informal chat.
Do not fear, why don’t you volunteer
Don’t be sad, volunteer for us at CamTAD
