Volunteer Testimonials

“The joy in their eyes and smile on their face is what motivates me.”
Mary, Art Volunteer

“I thoroughly enjoy my time spent volunteering at Bayley House. Whenever I arrive I am greeted with a multitude of smiles or high fives from the clients and they are a joy to work with.”

“Over the years I have shared so much with the clients and at the end of my time with them I leave feeling happy and contented. The staff are inspirational and truly appreciate my efforts as much as the clients. We have lots of laughs and a feeling of friendship permeates our time together. I am so lucky and privileged to volunteer as I receive so much more back than I give. I always look forward to being a part of the wonderful atmosphere at Bayley House.”
