“October 5th was the day my story changed. Sent from the job centre to One Community to volunteering, I walked in not knowing whether I will be given the opportunity to volunteer or not after being on anti-depressant for 3 years and not worked for 5 years. I was welcomed and given an application form to complete. After meeting with the Skills, Development and Volunteer Manager, I was offered the opportunity to volunteer as an Administrative Support.

During this period, I was supported to build my self-confidence and believe in myself that I can overcome the challenges I have been through. One community has helped me to overcome and be a stronger person. My passion has always been in the beauty industry.”
