Volunteering & Volunteer Students

A couple of weeks back I wrote about volunteering. Well, as an update: I have recently started an introduction course to the London Lesbian and Gay Switchboard. It runs for a couple of weeks, and then I can have some live training on the phone.
In a lot of ways, it seems like a nice place - both in terms of making a difference, as well as in terms of meeting some friendly people in a relaxed atmosphere. Sure, it is a bit of a commitment, but I really feel quite positive about it. And most certainly the people I have met in the place all seem like genuinely nice people with whom it is great to hang out, have a drink, a laugh or just a chat between training sessions.
Will keep you posted :)
