Our Experiences
• Volunteering• Circuit Riding
• You might notice a slight bias! • And this is a good time to ask specific questions about
these types of support• BUT we all work within a system of a patchwork of
support and some support fits some jobs/some organisations better than others
• A smorgsbord of support to choose from (or hobson’s choice?)
