At BDCA, we value our volunteers. They make it possible for us to serve our neighbours in need through giving their time, skills and knowledge selflessly. We are celebrating National Volunteers Week (1-7 June) by sharing one story a day of some of our amazing volunteers as well as throwing them a tea party.
Today we meet Brian who volunteers for our Over 65s project.
