We are so lucky to have such wonderful volunteers who dedicate so much of their time regularly to Valerie Manor. Below, familiar face Marmalade tells us a little bit about herself, and in our next post we introduce two new volunteers…

Hello, my name is Maireadh Knight (Marmalade) and I am so lucky to spend time at Valerie Manor and am thoroughly enjoying my afternoon each week with the residents. I currently work as a Police Community Support Officer for Sussex Police and patrol Shoreham Beach. Before Sussex Police I worked as a Road Runner for Southern FM.

I have wanted to find somewhere to do voluntary work for some time now and am delighted it was Valerie Manor. I can honestly say I have a great laugh playing games and doing activities with the residents – they are a great bunch of people. When I am at Valerie Manor I get a warm fuzzy feeling because it’s such a genuinely warm, caring and stimulating environment for the residents.

Come and join us!
