Testimonies

Here are a few quotes from our volunteers, on what they've thought about their time volunteering:

"I was hesitant and uncertain about my own ability to reach out to so many people in the community and give them much support; but Karis has provided me with the confidence to be able to do this."

"In volunteering I receive as much as I give – the friendships made are amazing."

"It was a very relaxed and open atmosphere, time quickly passed as we had lots of fun together. I really enjoyed listening to people's old memories and new ones! It is an amazing opportunity to meet people from different generations and find out the differences and learn a lot from our older folk!"

"I never know what I'll be doing next... Dropping or picking someone up from the airport, providing lifts to summer tea parties, sitting and listening to someone, defrosting a fridge or freezer or going on a trip to the Botanical gardens. It's nice to feel we might be making a difference to someone's life."
