👋 Hi there, my name is Steve.
When I retired in 2015 I was looking for an opportunity to do some voluntary work in the community. I lived locally so I was already aware of The Nightingale and I knew people who had received support from them.
An important reason I chose to volunteer with The Nightingale was that I knew through family and friends the impact cancer has on people’s lives.
Over the last 10 years I have enjoyed supporting The Nightingale by organising their Awareness Stands throughout the community.

You might have seen me in your local supermarket, shopping centre or community event spreading the word about the wonderful work The Nightingale does.
It is satisfying to know that more and more clients are aware of and benefiting from The Nightingale because of the Awareness Stands I lead.
Although the Awareness Stands are serious business the other volunteers and I always find ourselves having fun and laughing a lot!
Steve's Top Reasons Why He Volunteers
