I came to the Furniture Scheme through the job centre to work for 4 weeks in admin but I didn’t do admin, as I enjoyed working with all members of staff doing different things i.e. cooking with Marilyn in the kitchen, working in reception with Ali.  Everyone is so friendly and helpful e.g. I came in one morning and we was talking about first aid and Elaine said,’ I don’t want to be brought back when I go’ so Chris P made her a sign which we pinned to her back “don’t resuscitate”.  I never laughed so hard.  So now I volunteer at both Community Centres, Rockspring and Craven Arms. I so enjoy working I carried on after my course and got offered work at Craven Arms.
