Volunteers flock to the LJMC
New projects and new services led to a recruitment drive for volunteers with an overwhelming response beyond our wildest dreams.
With the new iPoint information service and other information projects starting, it was clear that more volunteers were needed.
A couple of open days were planned and the local press were contacted.
The story hit the front page and, before we knew it, the telephone was ringing off the hook with dozens of people enquiring about the available opportunities.
More than 80 people came along to the open days with many others coming later as word spread.
We were absolutely delighted with this response from some truly wonderful and amazing people.
It took a while to interview everyone and identify where we might best utilise their skills but we have gradually worked through the long list and the first volunteers have now started.
