I went and got myself a new job. Full time, office based and 10 minutes from the boys’ school. It’s for a cause I believe in, based on values that resonate and a vision I want to be part of. Yay me!
I got into the charity sector when I started in secondary school, bucket collecting for Riding for the Disabled, doing a favour for my mum. I’ve never been entirely convinced that it can be defined as volunteering when “my mum made me do it” but proving I am my mother’s daughter at the end of November I signed the boys up alongside myself for their first stint as volunteers.
They were stars, Smalley shouting “let’s go volunteering” all the way there, Albs being polite, friendly and so confident asking people to help donate and both proving little stars.
Yes, food may have been dolled out throughout and thank you gifts by way of new magazines purchased at the end, but they went, they smiled, they did their bit and most importantly of all, they enjoyed it.
