Jamal

Sessional Lead

Why did you decide to volunteer for The Maypole Project?

I really wanted to do something to help people less fortunate than me and The Maypole Project sounded like a really good opportunity. I don’t think I realised how much I would enjoy volunteering there and how amazing the people running it would be!

What do you find most enjoyable about your volunteering?

Seeing children gain in confidence while being at a Maypole Active session is really special, especially when you know how much they have enjoyed being there and that you helped to make it enjoyable for them. I also love watching how the more experienced volunteers and staff are able to engage with the kids and I’ve learnt a lot from them.

What three words sum up your volunteering at The Maypole Project?

Inspiring, uplifting and humbling
