What our volunteers are saying

 

"As a volunteer for SuperGrans the benefits are many. Being able to pass on skills and watching the pleasure and confidence people get from the learning is just a part of it. New friendships are formed and it is heartening to hear how much our being there means to those in our classes. The SuperGrans staff are welcoming to everyone while maintaining a professional operation. We all appreciate their commitment to this great cause.”

— S, Workshop Mentor

 

“Mentoring for SuperGrans has been a wonderful experience for me. I felt fully supported by SuperGrans during the time I helped a family to increase their cooking skills. I know the family enjoyed the experience and I felt that I actually got as much out of the mentoring as they did. I look forward to helping out a new SuperGrans client.”

— M, One on One Mentor
