“It has enabled me to learn even more about the arts and also to keep up to date with technology. When we retire, too many of us shy away from ‘commitment’, but I am able to be flexible with my time, and I enjoy the idea that I am helping such a wonderful organisation which is so dependent on volunteers” - Pat Wood, Volunteer
