Marilyn Payne, Supporter Group coordinator
"Supporter Group Coordinators are the link between the volunteers and staff and I think it is a vital role for both sides. I enjoy meeting the volunteers and being able to support them and keep them up to date with things that affect them.
"The volunteers like to know that they have a say in what happens and the Community Fundraising teams appreciate knowing how the volunteers are feeling, and to be able to pass any relevant information on is very important.
"This is a very enjoyable role and I would encourage anyone who wants to be more involved to consider this role. It is not too time consuming but is very rewarding."
