Polly's Story - Volunteering with Cyrenians

At Cyrenians, we have amazing, dedicated and passionate people that Volunteer and help us across all of our services! Without them, we could not do what we do.

Polly, a volunteer with our OPAL service in Bathgate, is an excellent example of one of the many people that turn up day on day, week on week and not only enrinches her own life but also the lives of the staff and service users she interacts with.

After moving back from living in Saudi 12 years ago, Polly found herself looking for something to do, reconnect and give something back to her local community. This was when she heard about Cyrenians through a friend and we were looking for help.

Watch below to Polly's story as she shares her journey to volunteering and all the benefits that come with it.
