Volunteering at The Fraser Centre

I chose to start volunteering at The Fraser Centre because I think it is a great project and I wanted to give something back to the community I live in. I recently retired from work and have been helping in the office using skills I learned there. Volunteering has given me the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life and learn new skills. The volunteers at The Fraser Centre are a great bunch of people and our aim is to create a family friendly centre in Tranent where everyone is welcome.

I volunteer to get me out meeting new people and doing new things.  I have met so many lovely people and done some new interesting activities. Very pleased I started volunteer and looking forward to coming along to all the varied activities. I feel more at home in Tranent now.

I volunteer at The Fraser Centre because I think we have a fabulous community asset in the building that needs to be shared. I want the building to buzz again with loads of activity as it once did as a cinema all those years ago. I also volunteer as I feel I can make a difference to low income families by giving them a place to go and enjoy family time that does not cost the earth.

I do it because it gets me out and gives me a chance to meet other people. I get a lot of satisfaction out of helping people.
