Ep8: Iqra’s volunteering story

In our series looking at Youth Volunteering, we catch up with Iqra. 

 

Iqra is 24 and is a retail manager in Huddersfield.

 

Listen to her story as he explains how volunteering is helping her manage her mental health and meet new people. 

 

In addition, the podcast also covers: 

• How she found a flexible opportunity that fitted around her job
• The type of volunteering she has been doing
• Some of the additional skills she has learned
• Some of the experience she has gained
• How the skills are helping build her confidence

These Podcasts have been created in partnership with the Future Creative volunteer programme for young people aged 16-24 years. Future Creative is delivered by TSL Kirklees (the Volunteer Centre for Kirklees) working in partnership with Lawrence Batley Theatre and funded by Arts Council England’s Volunteering Futures grant programme.
