Angela first got in touch with Charlie House last year, just as we were preparing for the festive season. From the moment we met, we knew we’d found someone special. She quickly became a familiar face across our Christmas calendar, and we’ve been lucky to have her by our side ever since.

As part of our week-long celebration of Volunteers’ Week (2 to 8 June), we caught up with a familiar face and longstanding member of our volunteer community, Dylan Henderson, to hear about his volunteering journey, the confidence it has given him over the years, and what being part of the group he proudly calls “the Charlie House family” means to him.

Senior school student Ailie and her dad Craig recently completed a challenge like no other: reaching the summit of the world’s tallest free-standing mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro.
