We have around 20 volunteers who work alongside us, in different parts of the work, each week. We quite simply couldn't do it without them and wouldn't want to anyway. Below are some of our longest serving partners:
Bev Cooke
Bev comes to Breakfast Club with her two children and sometimes even her grand daughter. She also helps with serving at the Breakfast Club a day each week.
"It's like being part of a family".
Vicki Mitchell
Vicki has been coming to Breakfast Club since 2005 when her oldest boys started coming. She makes sure there is golden brown toast every Wednesday morning.
"I feel like I'm giving something back".
David Beel
David is a member of Boulevard Baptist and he faithfully helps out three times a week.
"Now that I'm retired, it gets me out of bed!".
Joy and Paul Edwards
Joy and Paul volunteer every Tuesday.
"It was something I felt God called me too. I grew up in this area and it's great to come back and help here (Joy)".
Steve Moore
Steve has been volunteering at Breakfast club on a friday morning since 2011. He travels all the way from Leconfield and fits in helping out before work. Father Christmas has also asked him to step in twice at our Christmas parties on his behalf to ensure the children of Boulevard don't miss out.
"Its great to come along and support the HYFC team in the great work that they do".
Donna Allen
Donna is fantastic and helps out with pretty much everything! She makes porridge for the Breakfast Club each friday, helps at the youth clubs, organises the baking for mums on a Tuesday and helps with our summer camps as well as all kinds of other things.
'I like to help because YFC do a lot for my family and lots of families in the area and so I like to give something back'.
