Katy's Volunteering Story

For over 10 years Katy has been a volunteer with 4Cs Garden Care. See the positive impact it brings to her life and the joy she finds

After retiring from my part-time job, I found myself with more free time than I expected. I wanted to stay active and make a positive impact, so I decided to explore volunteering opportunities.

One day, while at the public library, I came across a postcard advertising for volunteers with Canterbury Garden Care. Intrigued, I decided to give it a try and I joined the Thursday group. From the very first day, I knew I had found something special.

Every Thursday, I meet with a wonderful group of people from various nationalities and walks of life, all coming together with a shared purpose.

The clients we work for are always so appreciative, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see the difference we make in their lives. Now, over 10 years later, I’m still as passionate as ever. I love every minute of it.

I’m an optimistic person by nature, always looking on the bright side of life, and volunteering allows me to share that positivity with others. Whether it’s brightening someone’s day or simply lending a helping hand, the impact of volunteering is profound.

For anyone considering volunteering, I can’t recommend it enough. If one type of work isn’t the right fit, there are countless other opportunities to explore. The camaraderie among volunteers is incredibly fulfilling and knowing you’re making a difference in someone’s life is a reward in itself. If you have the time and energy, I encourage you to find a volunteer role that suits you. For me, it’s gardening, and I absolutely love it.
