"Volunteering in an ice cream parlour is a good way of contributing, especially if you enjoy meeting the public and spreading a little enjoyment."
“It had such a major impact this kindness. I had always thought one day I could give something back, and that’s why I’m here.”
"Emmaus Bolton is unique because you are volunteering alongside the people the charity supports. Realising these people are getting on and trying to improve their lives is what makes the experience even better."
