Tragic news inspires student to become volunteer

Masters student Fae signed up to be a community reserve volunteer with the British Red Cross after seeing several news stories about tragedies across the UK.

Fae said being part of a community and helping out those in need was important to her but she was unsure of how she could help. That's why the community reserve volunteer programme appealed to her.

The community reserve volunteer program is a new volunteering opportunity allowing you to make a difference during a flood, fire or any other major emergency near you. Sign up today and take the first step towards being prepared in a crisis.
