I have been a resident of Croydon for the majority of my life. I became a Healthwatch volunteer in order to help my community, and to also give back in some way. I have volunteered for quite some time. I enjoy working with the organisation, and I know we do valuable work that is needed in the community. All of the volunteers and the staff are friendly and helpful. In my leisure time, I enjoy watching comedy programmes, films and sports. I also enjoy jogging.
