Barnardo’s NI Director Lynda Wilson said: “Volunteers enrich us. We are a community of people focused on doing the best for the children and young people we support and our volunteers are amazing people who give extraordinary amounts of time.

“They bring additional skill sets including life knowledge, experience and empathy. Volunteers in our shops help us raise vital funds to carry out our work with children and we greatly appreciate the commitment from Chloe as a shop volunteer.”
