Linda* is a busy volunteer who has contributed to several areas of Communities 1st work. She is involved in shopping, has supported Afghan refugees, and been a telephone befriender. When I called, she was having work carried out on her home. The loud banging disturbed her dog, Spot, who retaliated with loud barking. Amidst the “noises off,” I soon recognise that Linda is quite a private person. In this blog, she didn’t want me to use her real name. I think she felt that what she did was nothing particularly special.
