Hello my name is Niamh, I am 18 years old and have just finished my A levels at Cookstown High School. I’ve been volunteering at The Base Cookstown since June 2019, initially I joined the Base for a week’s work experience but enjoyed it so much I signed up as a volunteer to continue over the summer.
I absolutely love volunteering with The Base it has been so rewarding to build a relationship with all of the service users and to watch them getting involved in the community. Especially for me, my confidence has grown and I have met so many people along the road. Every day I enter The Base I have such positive memories whether that be going on day trips or even something small, as walking to the shop for ice cream it really does put a smile on my face.
For anyone who was, like me looking for work experience or just wants to volunteer I would highly recommend The Base as you will always leave with a smile on your face.
