In honour of Volunteers’ Week, we sat down with our Charity Volunteers Lead; Chrissie Morris, to discuss the importance of volunteering, on both a personal level and for charities as a whole.
Chrissie Morris
It’s a big team effort at ExtraCare. There are three Housing Officers including myself. I love what we do. I love going around the Schemes and Villages and meeting the local staff. I think most of the time the local staff don’t realise what a good job they do. I think sometimes they need to be reminded of that.
Maria Cutting
I love what ExtraCare does and fully endorse its philosophy. Over the years I have heard so many life changing stories from our residents and feel privileged being part of a forward thinking charity. I have also been very lucky to have worked with such a great bunch of supportive people at Head Office.

"If residents feel they could benefit from having contact with the students while they are present on site, have a chat with the Wellbeing Advisor who can help put you in touch with them, or alternatively feel free to approach them while they are around the village."

"I’m doing my Bronze Duke of Edinburgh at school and my dad mentioned that ExtraCare were looking for volunteers to help at Solihull, so that seemed ideal."
