We would like to say a huge welcome to our two new volunteers, Holly and Lydia. I would like to thank them both for giving up their time each week to spend with the residents at Valerie Manor and look forward to working closely with them and building on all the good work that Marmalade has started…

Hi, my name is Lydia, I am 18 and currently at college doing my A levels. I hope to go to medical school after college and eventually qualify as a doctor. Valerie Manor has been a great opportunity to meet new people and build up a rapport with the residents living there. I am thoroughly enjoying my work as a volunteer!

Hello, My name’s Holly and I have lived in Steyning for nearly 16 years now, I am studying Art, Sociology and English Language A Level at Steyning Grammar Sixth Form, and am hoping to go onto University to do a Degree in Social Work. I am looking forward to volunteering at Valerie Manor within the activities and hopefully my Art A Level will come in handy!
