How has volunteering impacted or helped you?
“Volunteering with LAMH has helped me so much with my self confidence, has also gave me a better understanding about mental health, LAMH also gave me the opportunity to do my first aid in mental health, and a few other courses, which I'm grateful for.”

What are you're Interests outside the shop?
“I like to read a good book, catch up with friends and family.”

What are your memories about the shop?
“Remembering my first day, I was so much out of my comfort zone, I honestly didn't think I would go back the following week, but a lot of persuading I went back, and I'm so glad I did, I've met some amazing people over the years, a lot of them have become great friends, so glad I stuck in 😊.”

Manager's note -
“It's hard to relay just how much Siobhan's commitment and efforts over the years have had on the development and success of our shop. Her reliable and hardworking mindset is accompanied by a supportive and caring nature, helping many fellow volunteers progress and overcome challenges. She shows these same qualities towards our customers who hold her in high regard. An inspiration.”

Olly has been volunteering at our Hamilton shop for a decade! We asked him some questions and here is what he said -

How long have you volunteered at LAMH?
“10 years”

What tasks do you do at the shop?
“I help sort through donations in the stockroom and check and price all the bric a brac.”

What do you enjoy about volunteering at LAMH?
“Talking to and helping customers. And having a chat and a cuppa with other volunteers.”

How has volunteering at LAMH helped you personally?
“It has helped give me more confidence.”

“Puzzlebooks, putting a wee bet on the horses, babysitting my Grandkids and going walks.”

Do you have any particular memories or thoughts on volunteering?
“I remember my first day volunteering at the shop and the first person I met was fellow volunteer Allan who helps with the books, and we're both still here enjoying it.”

*Manager's note -

We can always count on Olly, he's reliable, a very hard worker and always bring the laughs with his good sense of humour. He's the type of guy who goes above and beyond to help without looking for thanks or recognition, but he certainly deserves some so thanks Olly, your an asset to LAMH.
