I mostly sign people in at the sessions and chat to them to make sure everything's going well, hearing about their experiences in similar health fields.

I really wanted to work with the community and I wanted to do something where I can get supported yet not fully in a space that wouldn't reward me.

I think in secondary school they came in and talked about the hospice but it just kind of went over me at the time, but now I'm really learning a lot more about what it takes and what they do in the community, which is really interesting.

The other day talking with my family, they were kind of shocked because some of them didn't realise that I was volunteering here and I was able to explain hospice to them. I guess it's one of those things where you only learn about it when you need it.

I'm really grateful for the team here; they've been very supportive and have been patient with me as I am autistic, allowing me to take time when I need to. The amount of places that I've been and I learn and talk to people through this role, it has just expanded me so much more. I'm so glad.
