“I was in a state of complete shock when I was diagnosed as having breast cancer. I just could not believe it. Cancer had never been on my radar. Young people of my age just don’t get cancer. This can’t be right.” Georgie was explaining to me her reaction to being diagnosed with cancer in May 2021, at the age of just 29. She went on to describe the unimaginable course of treatment that she received, including surgery, radiotherapy, and twelve weeks of chemotherapy. 

Team Venn - a powerful partnership

Welcome to our Volunteer Centre newsletter.

We are grateful for the ongoing support of volunteers, constituting the backbone of our communities. Volunteering for all the fantastic organisations and community groups in the local areas.

Last week we held our annual AGM and conference. It was great to hear from so many organisations and volunteers about their experience of volunteering over the last year. We hope that everyone who attended took away as much as we did!
