Testimonial from Warwick Uni student and Action 21 Volunteer
" In the past few years, volunteering at Action 21 has reliably been one of the highlights of my week, every single week. Personally, I know that working at the till brings out the best parts of me and keeps them there long after my shift has ended. Others may prefer more technical or independent work - there's truly something for everyone at the shop! But beyond that, the sense of community, both from the regular customers and the rest of the staff, makes the work feel uplifting and truly meaningful. When everything else feels overwhelming, nothing brings peace like having a short shift where each simple task you complete tangibly helps those good people that surround you. In that sense, I couldn't recommend volunteering here enough."
