Aimee Coakley first came across the Hawksley “young vols” as a small child. She watched them working in her neighbourhood in Kings Norton in Birmingham and wanted to be one.
Now she is and has already traveled as far afield as France and India, cleaned streets, helped people keep their garden tidy and supported friends and neighbours. She even got her job because of her volunteer experience. Hers is just one of dozens of stories which explain why the Hawksley Young Volunteers were shortlisted for a Local Hearts Awards in October 2009. For more, listen to the podcast below.
