Salena

Development Worker From Scotland, United Kingdom United Kingdom flag
I work as a development worker for the community companions project, part of Voluntary Action South Ayrshire. I recruit and train volunteers to support those over 55 who are socially isolated and lonely in South Ayrshire, Scotland. We offer 1-2-1 support, groups and are looking to introduce a car service too. I love my job. I also teach crochet in my spare time (left and right handed) and have just taught myself how to teach one handed crochet to those who have lost dexterity and can only use one hand.
