Volunteer like Odele

University student Odele has volunteered for several Rays of Sunshine events. At first she wanted to improve her teamworking and interpersonal skills. But she says she soon realised how much more the opportunity could offer beyond employability!

She says: "I realised how much fun it is and how special the people are. It’s a great opportunity and I’d encourage anyone else to give it a go."
