Why Do You Volunteer?

To raise awareness about volunteering, we asked our colleagues what they volunteer for and why and read below to find out what they said. 

We are very proud to have so many volunteers at Fresenius Kabi UK, who give their time to make a difference in their communities.

Why Do You Volunteer?

"Volunteer at a group that was set up to encourage members to socialise and gather to enjoy arts and crafts, bingo, and playing cards. It is one of the most rewarding volunteering jobs." Sylvia Cunningham, Volunteer with Enable

"I volunteer simply to give something back. Having the ability to encourage more people, young and not so young into regular physical activity is a privilege." Angeline Rees, Cheerleading Coach

"I foster cats that aren't doing so well in sanctuaries. I'm unable to adopt a cat currently, but I am able to help those that need it and also ensure fewer cats are out on the street." Sacha Jones, Volunteer with Cats Protection
