Roger Brewer, 79, has been a volunteer at St Andrew’s Healthcare since 1983
A Northamptonshire man who has dedicated 40 years of his life to volunteering says a childhood experience made him realise he wanted to help people for the rest of his life.
“I was overwhelmed by the feeling of empathy at the idea that a little boy didn’t have a home. It lit a light within my heart which I remember thinking at the time that I wanted to help as many people as I could throughout my life.”Roger has certainly kept that promise as he has helped hundreds of people during his volunteering tenure at the Northampton mental health charity.
As part of his volunteering duties, Roger will be serving refreshments and manning a stand at the forthcoming FestiVol event, which is taking place on Saturday, September 2 at Workbridge between 12.30pm and 3.30pm.
