Volunteering Stories

Sally's Story

I began volunteering at Headway Nottingham whilst studying for a Psychology and Sociology degree at Nottingham Trent University. I knew I wanted to work in a caring environment on graduation, but was unsure what exactly I wanted to do.

Volunteer with us

What could you do with three hours? Watch three episodes of the latest must-see series. Go out for a meal. Interact on social media. All very enjoyable to do, but will any of those positively impact your local community and simultaneously enhance your sense of self-worth? Volunteering with Headway Nottingham will, and three hours a week is all we need from you.
