Jenna has volunteered in our Wimbledon shop for the past four months. She offers her support in many areas of the shop, from working on the tills to sorting books. When asked what her favourite thing about volunteering is, Jenna said: “Working with people, meeting new volunteers, and feeling like I am part of a large family and feeling valued.” Jenna decided to become a volunteer as her parents both suffer from heart related conditions.
