For the last day of Volunteers' Week, local volunteer Sh*tou tells us his story.

Sh*tou came to the area as an asylum seeker, and recently attended one of our events to talk about his volunteering journey in this country. An amazing man who just wants to give back to the local community, Sh*tou currently volunteers at Bridge to Unity, Stonepillow , Graylingwell Chapel and UKHarvest!

He says, “Before I arrived in the UK, a lot of things happened to me. I used to be a designer, I had my own career and I have a beautiful family. But that all changed. I am a proud person, and that is one of the reasons I volunteer; I want to give something back.
I’m always thinking, what can I do for this country when I’ve been given so much? I feel very happy to be a volunteer, and I want to thank everyone I meet there. All I have to offer is blood, toil, sweat and tears.”

You can read Sh*tou's full story here: www.vaac.org.uk/perch/resources/sh*tou.pdf

This weekend is The Big Help Out weekend during Volunteers' Week.

We celebrate this today with our Volunteer Fair! We are looking forward to seeing you between 10am-2pm, at Chichester City Council, North Street, Chichester.
