Jen's Story

"I started volunteering at the Newcastle Crisis Skylight Centre last year and love it."

"The team is great and everyone has made me feel very welcome. I volunteer with Crisis as a physio. It is a real joy to use my physio knowledge and skills as I am dual qualified as both a physio and a nurse, and my main job outside Crisis is currently in nursing."

"When looking to volunteer, I found the vision of Crisis to be compelling, putting the members at the heart of all that is done. It has been a real privilege to meet members and hopefully I have helped!" 

"Within physio, there is a real emphasis on self-management, so sometimes in the consultation I am just advising which exercises will help, or how to stretch better. Other times, it provides a chance for members to have some time out and have a massage to de-stress and relax."

"I look forward to meeting more members in the future as well as seeing those of you who come back for a return visit!"
