My Grandfather suffered with heart
conditions throughout his life and so he gave a weekly donation to
the British Heart Foundation. Following his death in 2007 I
believed that as his grandson it was my duty to carryon donating to
the British Heart Foundation. I had no income so I turned to
volunteering and started raising money from sponsorships and
events.
The Foundation’s publications inspired me
to start a local health company
dedicated to helping young people live
healthier lives.
I started off completing private sponsorships before venturing into
event organisation. I have enjoyed volunteering for the foundation
as it has provided me with many life skills such as learning how to
budget and most importantly how to communicate with different
people from the local community.
I enjoy volunteering for the British Heart Foundation. It provides
me with the opportunity to get out and about in the community -
meet new people and have fun. In addition to this I enjoy seeing
the money raised benefit people within the local community.
