Our Volunteers

  • Supporting Access in doing something that is a much bigger cause than anything we can do individually is what drew me to this, as well as the fact that we are working with the youth. It’s people who are going to give us a better world. It’s their time. We are here to guide them to learn from what we’ve learnt. Breaking barriers down and not having a gap between the older generation and the younger generation is important.

  • Don’t be afraid to learn new things and to challenge yourself, you’ll probably surprise yourself at how quickly you can learn it and adapt it to what you know. Don’t be afraid of change. What I’ve found is that no matter what happens, and how scary and hard it can seem in the short term, there is always a new and exciting opportunity waiting for you.

  • I was so impressed and inspired by the young people we met. Their vision and focus is a huge credit to the school and their families. I found [Mock Interviews] to be a brilliant learning experience, with valuable take-aways courtesy of both my fellow interviewers and the interviewees themselves. It is clear that Access is making a difference in people’s lives, which is so fantastic to witness.
