Confidence, independence and real-world experience - that’s what Kali’s volunteering journey is all about 👏
Kali has been volunteering with RSPCA Northamptonshire Branch for several months, and she now does so independently, with minimal staff support.
She’s a valued part of the team, taking on responsibilities across customer service, stock management, shop maintenance and working alongside colleagues in a busy retail environment.
This placement has played a huge role in building Kali’s confidence, practical skills and independence, and it’s supporting her aspiration of one day moving into paid work in retail.
For our members, opportunities like this are an important step between learning and employment - and Kali is a brilliant example of that journey in action.
This programme has been supported by Adult Learning - Northamptonshire and the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, helping create meaningful pathways into the community.
We’re incredibly proud of Kali and everything she’s achieved, and very grateful to the RSPCA Northamptonshire Branch for providing such a positive, supportive opportunity 💙
