JCS thanks loyal volunteers

Jewish Care Scotland (JCS) have recognised the hard work of their loyal volunteers by presenting them with a gift hamper as part of Volunteers Week 2021.  Volunteers support the charity in a number of ways, including providing shopping support, delivering meals, delivering copies of The Jewish Telegraph and helping people remain connected to their community and culture.

 

The Community and Welbeing Team at JCS delivered hampers directly to volunteers. Vicki McPhee, Team Leader said, “The work of our volunteers is invaluable in helping us to reach as many members of the community as we can.  Their time and effort are really appreciated by our team and the people who benefit.  These hampers are just a small token of our thanks.”

 

JCS volunteer Orli Schechter (pictured) said, “I’ve so enjoyed my time as a JCS volunteer since lockdown started. I love seeing the clients whilst also knowing I’m doing something to help.  So getting a gorgeous hamper was such a wonderful surprise and was the icing on the cake… such a lovely gesture, and really made my day!.”

 

JCS are currently looking for volunteers who can commit time weekly in a number of roles including volunteer bus drivers.  If you would like to find out more about volunteering you can contact Vicki McPhee by calling 0141 620 1800 or email vickimc@jcarescot.org.uk.
