OUR VISION – ALICE & REV ALEX (Trustees)
We believe in the importance and difference the Charity can make to the community and are therefore
endeavouring to take the next step – expand William Bendlowe Charity into other local villages. To achieve
this, we need to build a strong, versatile, team consisting of Trustees and Volunteers who are committed to
not only serving the Community but also to ensuring that each and every volunteer, irrespective of the size
of their contribution to the Charity, is fulfilled, feeling valued and cherished by knowing that their efforts are
acknowledged and appreciated.
We are fully aware of the sacrifices individuals make in order to volunteer and, being unpaid, they must
receive gratification (job satisfaction) in some other way:-
– Enjoyment, fun, laughter
– Being active and keeping fit
– Keeping their brain active and engaged
– Keeping their skills up-to-date
– Making new friends, meeting their neighbours – socialising
The old adage “Many hands make light work” is so true. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact
Alice, mobile 07850 264518 or email: alicecox53@btinternet.com
Together we can make William Bendlowe Charity a
household name within the local community valued
and revered for its dedication and contribution for
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
William Bendlowe Charity = A valued and worthwhile independent organisation to be proud of
