We have the most fantastic team of volunteers, and every one of the 70 strong team brings their own interests and skills. So there is no typical GWL volunteer, just like there is no typical GWL learner. Find out more about on of our volunteers, Carol, who has been volunteering with GWL since 2011.

Hear from our volunteers!
