I really enjoy volunteering for Lakers firstly because Lakers is one big family. Lakers is so welcoming to staff, volunteers, members and their families. To see the difference Lakers brings to an individual person's life in terms of confidence and inclusion makes volunteering so enjoyable. To be a volunteer involves the community to get involved in supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities and experience the fun and enjoyment that being in Lakers brings.

Lakers to me is a wonderful community of growth, encouragement and positivity. I thoroughly enjoy every moment of my involvement with Lakers. I volunteer because I want to connect and engage with my community. Lakers are such a huge part of the heart of Bray and I have always wanted to show my support. Lakers brings out the very best in each individual member. It supports and inspires them to reach their full potential. Volunteering to me is first and foremost fun. The members are full of life and love. I love having heart felt conversations and laughs with them all. It's hard not to become friends with everyone. Lakers is such an open, loving community. Each day is more rewarding then the last. I'm looking forward to continuing volunteering with Lakers. Once you start, it's hard to leave! The laughs, smiles and absolute craic we have is contagious!!

It allows me to gain valuable experience working with members, volunteers and staff in an engaging and inviting atmosphere. You are made to feel as an important part of the club and that your volunteering is greatly appreciated.
