Lynn

I really enjoy being a trustee with our local Citizens Advice; being involved in the local community, working with a fantastic team, constantly learning something new and helping to develop such a worthwhile service.

I wanted to join CALL as a Trustee because it’s a local charity supporting local people and I felt that I had skills and experience that would enable me to make a contribution to the running the organisation.

Whilst on maternity leave I decided I wanted to start giving back to my local community and broaden my experience beyond my day job. I was able to use the transferable skills from my career and get a lot back too: Citizens Advice plays such an important role in society and I’m constantly learning new things. I love working with a great team of like-minded people and there are so many opportunities to get involved.

I moved to Leighton Buzzard in 2020, and was keen to get closer to the local community. I wanted to really feel part of and contribute to the town I lived in. I work full time, but spotted the flexible opportunity to be a trustee for Citizens Advice, and knew it was the perfect role for me. I love being part of the lovely team that really do make a difference to our town.

After being made redundant I found my new portfolio career was missing something. Volunteering as a trustee for CALL fulfilled that gap. I am proud to have been able to share my experience as part of a fabulous committed trustee team to lead CALL to deliver a great service that supports our community.

Kirsty

I moved to the area a few years ago and wanted to get involved in local charity work. By volunteering as a trustee with CALL, I am able to give back  to the community by sharing my experience and knowledge on the board and whilst also growing my own skills.

Upon retirement, I decided to spend my free time on Voluntary & Charity work to help those in need, and thereby give back to our local community of which I’ve been a part for over 30 years.

Citizens Advice fitted the bill perfectly and, as a CALL Trustee, I’m able to bring to bear some of my career skills. The added bonus is that I’m still learning and am part of a great team  in a friendly atmosphere where everyone is  dedicated to a common purpose –  ‘helping others’.

Karina

Having moved to the area in 2021, I was keen to get to know the community better. Skills-based volunteering can be so impactful and contributing to the leadership of CALL is so rewarding!

I have always admired the role that Citizens Advice plays within the Leighton/Linslade community, so was delighted to be given the opportunity to join as a Volunteer Trustee, to provide some assistance to a support network that is of increasing importance.
